Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the public service loan forgiveness program under the Higher Education Act of 1965 to ensure qualifying public service excludes employment with organizations that engage in activities that have a substantial illegal purpose.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "No Loan Forgiveness for Terrorists Act of 2025," proposes to modify the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program by explicitly excluding organizations that engage in activities with a substantial illegal purpose from qualifying as a public service job. Specifically, the bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to prohibit loan forgiveness for employment with organizations that: (1) aid or abet violations of immigration laws, (2) materially support terrorism or terrorist organizations, (3) support child abuse or child trafficking, (4) engage in systematic illegal discrimination, or (5) repeatedly violate state tort laws such as trespassing, disorderly conduct, or obstruction. The modifications aim to prevent individuals working for organizations deemed to be engaging in illegal activities from receiving federal student loan forgiveness through the PSLF program, effectively using the loan forgiveness benefit as a mechanism to discourage participation in organizations that the bill considers to be acting outside the law or against public interest.
