116-sjres-56 116 sjres 56 A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Borrower Defense Institutional Accountability". Education 2019-09-26 2020-03-11 Indefinitely postponed by Senate by Unanimous Consent. Senate Sen. Durbin, Richard J. [D-IL] IL D D000563 42 This joint resolution nullifies a rule issued by the Department of Education (ED) on September 23, 2019. The rule revised the process for a student loan borrower to obtain a discharge from a student loan if an institution of higher education misrepresented a material fact. Among other requirements, the 2019 rule requires each borrower to apply to ED for a defense to repayment. However, under the previous 2016 rule, an application could be submitted on behalf of an entire group (e.g., veterans). 2022-11-01T13:49:50Z
