The bill modifies certain provisions related to loan forgiveness for teachers by removing a subparagraph from eligibility criteria.

  • 20 U.S.C. § 1078-10(g)(2)

    subparagraph (B)

    This removes an option from the eligibility criteria for loan forgiveness for teachers.

  • 20 U.S.C. § 1087e(m)

    both this subsection and section 428J, 428K, 428L, or 460 → both this subsection and section 428K or 428L

    This simplifies the language regarding eligibility for loan forgiveness by removing one section from the consideration.

  • 20 U.S.C. § 1087j(g)(2)

    subparagraph (B)

    This also removes an option from the eligibility criteria for loan forgiveness for teachers.
