HR 4534 United States House · 119th Congress

Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families Act

HR 4534 makes Executive Order 14191 legally binding by codifying it into law, directly affecting private, religious, and parochial elementary and secondary schools. The bill's key provision converts the executive order - which aims to expand educational freedom - into permanent law. It explicitly states this change does not alter whether these schools receive federal funding under Title IX or are considered state actors for Fourteenth Amendment liability purposes. The law focuses on establishing the executive order as enforceable policy without modifying existing civil rights protections for schools.
