H.R. 4795

Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act of 2026

Education and Workforce Committee · Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC)

3 September 2026 | Passed House (237-169)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would prevent colleges and universities that participate in federal student aid programs from boycotting Israel for commercial reasons unless there is a valid business justification. It would also require schools receiving federal funding for international education programs to certify annually that they allow students and faculty to participate in academic programs in Israel on equal terms with other countries, and that Israeli students and faculty can participate in their programs on the same basis as those from other nations.
