Evidence

unverified · Source version 97511 · locator unknown

GovInfo lists H.R. 9957 as an introduced House bill: Mrs. Hayes, for herself and Mr. Kennedy of Utah, introduced the Time for Completion Act and it was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. The text would amend Higher Education Act reporting to include first-time full-time, first-time part-time, non-first-time full-time, and non-first-time part-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates at multiple completion benchmarks.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Hayes introduced legislation directly aimed at broadening completion/graduation-rate reporting beyond the existing first-time full-time cohort, but the official record shown is only the introduced/referred version, not enacted law.

Hayes's office said current law requires graduation-rate reporting only for first-time, full-time students and that the Time for Completion Act would expand reporting to all student populations, including part-time and returning students, students with disabilities, and others earning degrees or certificates at community colleges.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The member's official statement closely matches the promise language and confirms concrete legislative effort, but frames the change as proposed legislation rather than a delivered reporting requirement.

Hayes introduced H.R. 9957, the Time for Completion Act, which directly matches the promised expansion of graduation and completion-rate reporting to broader student cohorts at community colleges. However, the available official status shows the bill only introduced and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce as of July 27, 2026, with no evidence that the reporting requirement has been enacted or otherwise implemented. This is a concrete legislative effort, but the promised outcome remains pending rather than delivered.
