Each of the proposals would support students and their families, as well as institutions of higher education, as they rebuild and move forward beyond the COVID-19 crisis. Like other sectors of our society, the pandemic has had a crippling impact on students and their families, who have had to cope with lost jobs, reduced wages, and in some cases, significant health challenges from COVID-19, which has disproportionately affected low-income students and communities of color. In the face of these challenges, some students have been forced to suspend their pursuit of a college education. This was particularly true of students at community colleges, which saw an estimated 10 percent decline in enrollment last fall. Since the onset of the pandemic, colleges and universities—public and private, small and large, urban and rural—have seen precipitous declines in revenues and soaring new expenses, and over 650,000 jobs were lost on campuses, roughly one of every eight positions.

November 15, 2019 House approves Ex-Im Bank reform, reauthorization The House of Representatives voted today to revamp the Export-Import Bank and extend its operating authority for ten years. H.R. 4863, the United States Export Finance Agency Act of 2019, would rename the Export-Import Bank the US Export Finance Agency, would block any support to Chinese military or intelligence services, and make it easier for the agency to respond to predatory export financing by China. The bill passed roughly along party lines, 235-184, and President Trump has said he will veto it if it reaches his desk. It has no Senate companion. House Financial Services Committee approves bills on debt collection, fair lending The House Committee on Financial Services spent much of this week marking up legislation, and approved eight bills for floor action. The Committee voted unanimously to pass H.R. 5003, which gives service members additional protections from threats by debt collectors; H.R. 4403, which extends Fair Debt Collection protections to debts owed to federal agencies and clarifies its application to debt buyers; and H.R. 2398, which would expand eligibility for the HUD-VASH program.

    January 2019 Legislative Update

    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE JANUARY 2019 The November election resulted in a Congress that looks far different than it ever has. As you know, Democrats took over the House, and both political parties changed in significant ways that will likely affect the way business is done in Washington. As the Majority, Democrats will have control over those Committees affecting maritime policy. Chairman Adam Smith (D-WA) and Ranking Member Mac Thornberry (R-TX) will head up the House Armed Services Committee which notably has jurisdiction over the Maritime Security Program, as well as any "new build" and recapitalization issues impacting the maritime schools' training ships. Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-MO) lead the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (T&I) which has jurisdiction over the majority of issues important to the U.S.-flag industry, including the Coast Guard, the Jones Act and MarAd. Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) chairs the House Appropriations Committee along with her Republican counterpart Kay Granger (R- TX). The Committee oversees MSP funding. Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MI) and Ranking Member Mike Rogers (R-AL) head up the House Homeland Security Committee which has jurisdiction over ports under the Marine Transportation Security Act and other maritime security issues. We are still awaiting the announcement of House Subcommittee leadership appointments including Chairs for the Armed Services Committee's Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee (expected to be Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.)) and T&I’s Coast Guard & Maritime Transportation Subcommittee. In the Senate, Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) will oversee the Senate Appropriations Committee.
