Limiting Student Loan Forgiveness: Protecting Taxpayers

Key points
The Secretary of Education cannot issue new regulations or executive actions on student loans if they would cost the economy $100 million or more annually and increase taxpayer costs.
The act aims to protect taxpayer money by preventing costly student loan forgiveness programs.
Individuals with student loans may have limited access to future relief programs if deemed too expensive.
