Congress Approves Fifth Extension of Higher Education Act

On May 6, the House approved, 408-0, S. 2929, a bill to extend until May 31, 2008, programs under the Higher Education Act (P.L. 105-244). The Senate passed the measure last week, but on May 7 approved the House version of S. 2929 by unanimous consent, which made the bill retroactive to April 30 when the previous extension (P.L. 110-198) expired.
