A bill to restore the exemption of family farms and small businesses from the definition of assets under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965.

AI Summary

This bill, the Family Farm and Small Business Exemption Act, proposes to restore the exemption of family farms and small businesses (defined as those with 100 or fewer full-time or full-time equivalent employees) from being considered assets under the Higher Education Act of 1965. This change would impact the calculation of a student's expected family contribution (EFC) when applying for federal student aid, potentially making it easier for students from family-owned farms and small businesses to qualify for financial aid.
