“Today I am proud to rise in support of the Meng amendment. This amendment would ensure that the Secretary of Education assesses the usability of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which we always often call FAFSA, in the business for students with limited English proficiency. Access to student aid should always be free, but the technical form is often hard to understand and complete when a student's, or particularly their parents', first language isn't English. Frankly, I have looked at the form, and it is hard enough to understand in English, Mr. Chairman, as a native speaker. Assessing the usability of the FAFSA every decade will allow the Department of Education to adapt the changing demographics at colleges across the country. I strongly encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment so students can have better and easier access to Federal student loan aid programs for free. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 10 Offered by Mr. Gowdy The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 10 printed in part A of House Report 113-546.”
