the joint consolidation loan separation act allows borrowers to apply to the department of education to split their consolidated loan into two separate federal direct loans. borrowers can commit either a joint application or an individual application in the case of domestic violence, economic abuse, or inability to reach a former spouse. the joint consolidation loan remainder would be split proportionally based on the percentages each borrower brought into the loan. . they would have the same interest rate. the bill would enable borrowers to regain access to student loan relief programs such as the public service loan forgiveness program for which they were previously ineligible. like many of my colleagues, i have heard from constituents who have joint consolidated loans with their former spouse is. some of them have expressed frustration that due to a joint loan they are ineligible to apply for other relief programs even though they are no longer with their spouse. constituents also entrusted me with their personal stories of domestic abuse and how these joint consolidated loans won'

the amendment also authorizes the department of education, in conjunction with the department of justice, to issue guidance to institutions on how they can continue to comply with the americans with disabilities act, section 504 of the rehabilitation, and other legal obligations when serving students with mental health disabilities and substance use disorders. however, this amendment has some issues. this amendment includes broader language that could allow the department of education to deviate from issuing guidance on complying with these existing laws and open the door for the department of education to speculate on a variety of other institution policies. for example, language in this amendment could permit the department of education to prohibit colleges and universities from enforcing their codes of conduct when students engage in drug use that violates campus policies which would make campuses less safe and less able to support students with mental health disabilities or substance use disorders. unfortunately, this amendment did not go through the normal committee process where it
