Referred to the House Committee on Rules.
This resolution sets the House's rules for debating and voting on H.R. 2003, the bill to lower federal student loan interest to 2 percent. It sends the House immediately to consideration, waives all points of order against the bill and its provisions, treats the bill as read, limits debate to one hour divided between the committee chair and ranking member, orders the previous question for final passage, and allows one motion to recommit. It does not change the law itself — it only controls how the House will consider and vote on that bill.
This is a House Rules Committee "rule" resolution that applies only to House procedure and is not law. It creates a closed process for H.R. 2003 for this day: waiving points of order, limiting debate to one hour, ordering the previous question, permitting one motion to recommit, and suspending Clause 1(c) of House Rule XIX for this consideration.
This House rules resolution (H.
Res. 1386) orders immediate floor consideration of H.R. 2003, which would amend the Higher Education Act to set Federal student loan interest rates at 2 percent.
The resolution waives all points of order against consideration and against provisions in the bill, treats the bill as read, orders the previous question, limits debate to one hour equally divided between the Committee on Education and Workforce chair and ranking member, allows one motion to recommit, and exempts Clause 1(c) of House Rule XIX from applying to consideration.
Rule itself is likely manageable in the House; the underlying policy faces substantive fiscal hurdles and tougher Senate consideration, lowering overall odds.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a focused procedural rule resolution that clearly and specifically sets the terms for floor consideration of a single bill and integrates those terms with existing House rules.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Progressives emphasize borrower affordability and swift floor action
Likely supportive because it advances a bill to lower student loan interest to 2 percent, a priority for affordability.
May register concern about waiving points of order and limited debate if that blocks stronger amendments, but overall sees expedited consideration as positive.
Mix of support and caution: favors taking up student loan reform but worries about broad waivers of points of order and fiscal implications.
Appreciates a single hour of divided debate and one motion to recommit, but wants clear budgetary information and orderly amendment opportunity.
Generally opposed to both the underlying policy of mandating a 2 percent student loan rate and to the procedural waivers.
Views the rate cut as a costly government intervention and the resolution's waivers as undermining regular order.
