Bill > HR4534

This bill codifies Executive Order 14191, which relates to expanding educational freedom and opportunity for families, into federal law. Specifically, the bill makes the provisions of Executive Order 14191 legally binding, giving it the same force and effect as a law passed by Congress. The bill includes an important rule of construction that clarifies that the law does not change how private, religious, or parochial schools are evaluated for federal financial assistance or their status as potential state actors under the Fourteenth Amendment. This means that schools will continue to be assessed under existing standards for federal funding and constitutional liability, regardless of the new educational freedom provisions. The bill's title, "Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families Act," suggests it aims to provide more educational choices or support for families, though the specific details of those expanded opportunities are not outlined in the text provided. By codifying the executive order into law, the bill ensures that the educational provisions will remain in effect even if the original executive order were to be rescinded by a future administration.
