Cleared committee, waiting for its first floor vote

A committee approved it and it is on the calendar of the chamber it started in.

This is further than most bills get, and still no promise of a vote: the calendar is a queue, and the majority leadership decides what is called. A bill can sit here until the Congress ends.

What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "FLEX Act," aims to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

The legislation changes funding allotment percentages and expands the types of activities supported by grants. It also introduces provisions for advance payments for subgrants. Additionally, the bill modifies how national activities and grants to charter management organizations are handled.
