No More D.C. Waste Act

The No More D.C. Waste Act (HR 1686) requires that unspent federal funds for District of Columbia resident tuition support must expire at year-end and cannot be carried forward to future fiscal years. It amends the District of Columbia College Access Act to remove provisions allowing funds to remain available until expended, ensuring all allocated funds are used within the fiscal year. Starting in 2026, the District must submit annual reports to Congress detailing the number of students served, average aid amount, and any unspent funds. This bill directly affects the District of Columbia's tuition support programs and federal funding for resident education.
