Department of Education: Keeping Programs Within the Agency
This bill is currently in the House Committee on Education and Workforce. It has not moved since September 2, 2026, and the committee must review it before it can proceed further. Most bills do not receive a committee vote, so this proposal is not actively moving forward.
It has bipartisan support from key members, but reorganizing government is often a high-stakes political battle that can stall in a divided Congress.

The bill requires the Secretary of Education to report on staff detailing, transfers, relocations, and reductions in force tied to any interagency agreements made since February 2025. By blocking new transfer agreements, it may protect some Department of Education jobs from being shifted or eliminated, but it also creates new reporting burdens and restricts travel funds for the Secretary until reports are filed.
“Detailing, transferring, relocating, and onboarding Department of Education staff to other Federal agencies.”
