Trump Says Student Loans Moving to SBA, ‘Special Needs’ to HHS

The Hill

 

President Trump said Friday he is “immediately” moving the handling of federal student loans to the Small Business Administration (SBA), and shifting programs for students with disabilities to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as his White House seeks to wind down and eventually eliminate the Education Department.

“I’ve decided that the SBA, the Small Business Administration, headed by Kelly Loeffler, will handle will all of the student loan portfolio,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, noting it is a “pretty complicated deal, and that’s coming out of the Department of Education immediately.” 

“And also, Bobby Kennedy, with the Health and Human Services Department, will be handling special needs and all the nutrition programs and everything else,” he continued.

After Raucous Legislative Hearing Naming Family Court Judges, Hobbs Vetoes Family Court Reform Bill

May 17, 202516 min read
Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed HB 2256 on Monday, a bill that would have reformed family court. Sponsored by State Representative Rachel Keshel (R-Tucson) and amended by State Senator Mark Finchem (R-Prescott), the bill prohibits a court from ordering a party against their will to pay for and work with a therapist, known as “therapeutic intervention” (TI). Prior to her veto, Finchem, chair of the Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Committee on Family Court Orders, conducted a long hearing with Keshel addressing the problems with family court. Hobbs issued a brief letter explaining her veto. “Today, I vetoed House Bill 2256,” she said. “In an attempt to address one specific situation, this proposal would result in unintended consequences that may result in more harm than good.”
