H.R. 4260: To ensure the appropriate administration of the Impact Aid program.

The bill aims to regulate the administration of the Impact Aid program managed by the Department of Education. Specifically, it states that:

1. Administration Consistency

The Secretary of Education is prohibited from making significant changes to how the Impact Aid program is run from what was established on January 1, 2025. Any alterations can only be made if they are necessary due to federal law or a court ruling.

2. Annual Compliance Certification

The Secretary of Education is required to provide a certification to Congress within 30 days of the bill's enactment to confirm that the previous administration methods are being followed. This certification must be repeated annually to ensure ongoing compliance with the administration requirements set forth in the bill.

Impact on Stakeholders

The focus of the bill is to maintain a consistent approach to the Impact Aid program, which supports local educational agencies affected by federal activities, such as military bases or Indian lands. By limiting administrative changes, the bill seeks to ensure stability and predictability for funding and support to schools reliant on this aid.
