H.R. 1766 · 116th Congress

College Transparency Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

College Transparency Act

This bill requires the National Center for Education Statistics to establish a secure and privacy-protected data system that contains information about postsecondary students. Specifically, the data system must

  • evaluate student enrollment patterns, progression, completion, and postcollegiate outcomes, and higher education costs and financial aid;
  • provide complete and customizable information for students and families making decisions about postsecondary education;
  • reduce the requirements for reporting by institutions of higher education; and
  • periodically match with other federal systems of data.

The bill also establishes a postsecondary student data system advisory committee.
