AI Summary
This bill, the "Keep Our Graduates Working Act of 2020," prohibits state authorities from suspending or revoking a person's professional license solely due to their default or delinquency in student loan payments. The bill aims to ensure that college graduates can maintain their occupational licenses and remain in the workforce while they work to pay off their student loan debt. It also repeals a provision that previously allowed the Department of Education to suspend a health care practitioner's license for defaulting on a state or federal student loan, and requires the department to comply with the new law's provisions in its efforts to collect delinquent student loans.
