Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

RISE Act

Key claim: The RISE Act (S3589, 119th Congress) was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Abstract

(S3589 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-01-07): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Why this matters

The RISE Act targets a persistent friction point for students with disabilities transitioning from K-12 (IEP/504 plans) to higher education, where institutions can require costly re-documentation before granting accommodations. Referral to the Senate HELP Committee is a routine first step but signals the bill is in the queue for committee consideration; students, borrowers with disabilities, and postsecondary institutions all have a stake in whether documentation standards get federally standardized.
