S 2467 United States Senate · 118th Congress

ELEVATE Act of 2023

This bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to include "migrants from Puerto Rico" in the definition of students eligible for English Language Acquisition grants. It directly affects Puerto Rico by ensuring its migrants qualify for these federal funds, which previously excluded them. Key provisions update definitions across multiple sections of the law to replace "immigrant children and youth" with "immigrant children and youth and migrants from Puerto Rico" in grant eligibility criteria. The changes take effect on October 1 of the first or second fiscal year after enactment, depending on funding impacts.
