AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Educational Visa Transparency Act of 2026," requires all colleges and universities that receive federal funding to regularly report information about their non-U.S. citizen students, faculty, and administrators to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). SEVIS is a government system used to track foreign students and exchange visitors in the United States. The reporting must be done electronically within 60 days of the bill's enactment and then within 30 days after each subsequent academic term's registration deadline. The information submitted must be complete and accurate, and it needs to be broken down by the type of visa each individual holds. This data will be accessible to officials from the Departments of Education, Justice, Homeland Security, and State to help them perform their official duties.
