Equal Campus Access Act of 2026

Education and Workforce Committee · Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI)

16 September 2026 | Reported by committee (Education and Workforce, as amended, H. Rept. 119-833)

What's next: Floor scheduling (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)

Summary: The bill would prohibit federal funding under the Higher Education Act from going to public colleges and universities that treat religious student groups differently than other student organizations. It aims to ensure that religious groups receive the same campus rights, benefits, and privileges as non-religious student organizations, regardless of their beliefs, practices, or membership standards.
