Clock Hour Program Student Protection Act

Allows certain clock‑hour training programs that exceed a State’s required minimum hours to remain eligible under the Higher Education Act so long as their total clock hours do not exceed a fixed cap. The cap equals the greater of (a) 150% of the State minimum clock hours or (b) 150% of the applicable Federal agency minimum for that training. The rule takes effect on enactment and applies starting with the 2024–2025 award year and thereafter.
