AI Summary
This bill, the Transparency in Off-Campus Housing Act, requires the Department of Education to issue regulations prescribing a methodology that institutions of higher education must use to determine the allowance for room and board costs incurred by students who live off-campus. The regulations must ensure that the allowance is sufficient to cover reasonable room and board costs and include the sources of information that institutions must use in making the determinations. The bill also allows the Department to grant institutions a waiver from these requirements if the institution submits its own methodology and demonstrates that it will use reliable sources of information.
