@EdWorkforceCmte to Mark Up Antisemitism, Workforce, and Health Care Bills

The House Committee on Education & Workforce convened on June 25, 2026, to mark up 11 bills addressing issues including antisemitism in education, workforce licensure reciprocity, federal workers' compensation, and health care transparency. Key procurement-related discussions involved legislative measures that impact federal funding eligibility for educational institutions, such as HR 4795 prohibiting federal funds to universities engaging in boycotts of Israel, and HR 5505 ensuring equal campus access for religious student groups. The committee also considered bills enhancing data sharing and fraud prevention in federal workers' compensation programs (HR 8822 and HR 8823), and expanding the scope of practice for nurse practitioners and physician assistants under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program (HR 4122). Several bills, including those related to Title VI enforcement and AI workforce data collection, were debated with attention to administrative capacity and funding. Multiple amendments were offered and voted on, with several motions to report bills to the House passing by recorded votes. The committee also discussed policy implications for enforcement responsibilities within the Department of Education amid ongoing agency restructuring. The meeting concluded with unanimous consent to allow technical changes to the bills and adjournment.
