To require an institution of higher education that becomes aware that a student having nonimmigrant status under subparagraph (F)(i) or (J) of section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)) has endorsed or supported a foreign terrorist organization to notify the SEVIS, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 2204 **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require U.S. colleges and universities to report to federal authorities (specifically SEVIS, the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) if they learn that a foreign student has endorsed or supported a foreign terrorist organization. The bill targets students on F-1 visas (international students) and J-1 visas (exchange visitors). **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects international students attending U.S. colleges and universities, as well as the institutions themselves, which would bear the responsibility of monitoring and reporting.

It could also impact campus free speech and student privacy considerations. **Current Status:** HR 2204 was introduced in the 119th Congress by Rep. Nicholas Langworthy (R-NY) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill has not yet advanced further in the legislative process.
