(LATEST SUMMARY) Provides that any funds appropriated to carry out any program to which the General Education Provisions Act applies for the fiscal years 1973 and 1974 shall remain available for obligation and expenditure until June 30, 1975. States that nothing in this Act shall be construed as approving the withholding from expenditure or the delay in expenditure of any funds appropriated to carry out any applicable program for fiscal year 1973 beyond allowed for apportionment. Revises the student assistance provisions of the Higher Education Act by entitling each student who has received a loan for study at an eligible institution to have paid on his behalf and for his account to the holders of the loan a portion of the interest of the loan if his adjusted family income is less than $15,000 and if he has been accepted for enrollment at an eligible institution or, in the case of a student who is attending such an institution, is in good standing at such institution as determined by such institution. Provides that the determination of need and the amount of a loan recommended by an eligible institution and the amount of loans in excess of $2,000 recommended by an eligible institution with respect to a student shall be determined by substracting from the estimated cost of attendance at such institution the total of the expected family contribution with respect to such student plus any other resources or student financial assistance reasonably available to such student. Provides that nothing in this or any other Act shall be construed to prohibit or require, unless otherwise specifically provided by law, a lender to evaluate the total financial situation of a student making application for a loan under this part, or to counsel a student with respect to any such loan, or to make a decision based on such evaluation and counseling with respect to the dollar amount of any such loan.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.
The record's latest action, on April 18, 1974: Public law 93-269.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 93rd Congress (1973-74), 651 of the 23,396 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 2.8 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one has no outstanding steps listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
CARL PERKINS (D-KY) introduced it on January 23, 1974, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.
They are 1 Republican.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on January 23, 1974, 19223 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 19138 days ago, on April 18, 1974.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 93rd Congress has not finished by January 3, 1975 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
