Agriculture

The House Agriculture Committee held a series of hearings this week moving forward on the farm bill by addressing both the food-stamp and credit-program provisions.

 

On Tuesday the committee considered cutting $33 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), to offset costs in order to prevent the Defense sequester.

Student Loan Interest Rates

Last week, the debate heated up over preventing the 3.4 percent interest rate on new federally subsidized student loans from doubling as scheduled on July 1st. 

On April 24, 2012, Senator Reid (D-NV) introduced the Stop the Student Loan Interest Rate Hike of 2012 (S. 2343). The legislation extends the current 3.4 percent student loan interest rate for one year instead of allowing the rate to revert back to 6.8 percent. Senator Reid offsets the extension with a tax increase on small businesses. The CBO score can be found here.

NCIS Senate ESEA Analysis and Response

National Council for Impacted Schools

Senate ESEA Analysis and Response

 

The following provides an analysis and response to the legislation passed out of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee with specific regard to Impact Aid.  The legislation addresses some key inequities which NCIS applauds.  It also goes beyond existing law and provides new gross exemptions for some school districts to receive dollars they wouldn’t otherwise be entitled to.  NCIS was founded on striving to provide Impact Aid eligible school districts with the greatest federal reimbursement a local education agency is entitled to under law without receiving a special exemption providing one district more dollars while taking away from others.
