On Wednesday, September 11, at 10:15 a.m., the Education and the Workforce Committee will mark up H.R. 5646, Stop Campus Hazing Act; H.R. 7233, Jenna Quinn Law of 2024; H.R. 736, PROTECT Kids Act; H.J. Res. 181, Congressional Review Act resolution to stop the Biden-Harris rule limiting access to Association Health Plans (AHPs); H.R. 3120, Healthy Competition for Better Care Act; and H.R. 9457, Transparent Telehealth Bills Act of 2024.

“From preventing child abuse to expanding high-quality, low-cost health care options, the breadth and depth of the Committee’s work is evident from this markup. Specifically, we will examine legislation to prevent child abuse, protect students in the classroom, deter hazing on college campuses, and strengthen employers’ ability to offer generous health care benefits,” said Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC). “You can’t pick more rewarding work than looking out for the interests of students and workers, which is what these six bills do. I look forward to advancing each measure.”

The markup session will take place at 10:15 a.m. on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, in Room 2175 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The meeting is open to the press and will be live-streamed on the Committee’s YouTube page.
