| 117-hr-9242 | 117 | hr | 9242 | Legal Aid for Americans Act of 2022 | Education | 2022-10-28 | 2022-10-28 | Referred to the House Committee on Education and Labor. | House | Rep. Burchett, Tim [R-TN-2] | TN | R | B001309 | 0 | Legal Aid for Americans Act of 2022 This bill establishes a pro bono service requirement for law school graduates who borrow federal student loans for their graduate legal education. Specifically, such a borrower must agree to perform pro bono legal work for not fewer than 50 hours per year for three years after the borrower obtains a license to practice law in a state (or for three years after completing the program of study, for borrowers who already had a license to practice when they received the loan). The bill exempts certain individuals from this requirement, including a borrower who is employed in a public service job. | 2023-08-14T22:00:37Z | https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/9242 |
