WASHINGTON – Tomorrow, at 10:15 a.m., the Education and the Workforce Committee will mark up H.J. Res. 116, a Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify the Biden administration’s independent contractor rule; H.R. 6418, the Empower Charter School Educators to Lead Act; H.R. 3724, the Accreditation for College Excellence Act of 2023; and H.R. 7683, the Respecting the First Amendment on Campus Act.

"The Biden administration, bureaucrats, and radical education administrators are holding students and workers hostage with their we-know-better-than-you policies. It’s no surprise that Americans’ confidence in education is plummeting across the board and workers are struggling to meet the demands of a changing economy," said Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC).

“These four bills focus on removing barriers in the lives of students and workers that restrict choice, limit Constitutional rights, and impose values antithetical to American exceptionalism,” added Foxx.

The markup is set to take place at 10:15 a.m. on Thursday, March 21, 2024, at 2175 Rayburn House Office Building. The event will be open to the press and live-streamed on the Committee’s YouTube page.
