Plain Language Summary
# Summary of HR 3739: No Loan Forgiveness for Terrorists Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prohibit any federal student loan forgiveness or cancellation programs from benefiting individuals designated as terrorists or members of terrorist organizations. If passed, it would create a legal barrier preventing people on terrorism watchlists from receiving relief through federal student loan forgiveness initiatives. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would primarily affect individuals with federal student loans who have been officially designated as terrorists or identified as members of terrorist organizations by U.S. government agencies. It would apply to any existing or future federal student loan forgiveness programs, regardless of their scope or purpose.
The bill does not establish new terrorism designations but rather uses existing government designations to determine eligibility. **Current Status** HR 3739 was introduced by Representative W. Gregory Steebe (R-FL) and remains in committee as of now, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. No companion bill has been identified in the Senate.
