S. 3589, Use Your Endowment Act

Summary

S. 3589 was introduced in the Senate on May 4, 2020, by Hawley for himself, Blackburn, McSally, Rubio, and Braun, and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. It may be cited as the Use Your Endowment Act and amends Section 18004 of the CARES Act, the higher education emergency relief fund. The bill restricts eligibility to institutions of higher education that owned endowment assets whose average monthly value was equal to or less than $10,000,000,000 in 2019, unless the institution expends additional institutional funds on higher education emergency relief. A provision requires certain institutions that received funds before the date of enactment of the subsection to repay such funds to the Secretary.
