The calendar is a queue, not a date. The majority leadership decides what comes to the floor and when; much of what is placed on it is never called, and a bill that is never called simply expires with the Congress.

What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Home School Graduation Recognition Act," seeks to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. The primary goal is to officially recognize students who completed their secondary education in a home school setting as high school graduates. This applies specifically to home schools treated as a home school or private school under State law. By changing the heading of a subsection in the Higher Education Act, the bill ensures these students are recognized for the purposes of that title.
