EO 14282 Act of 2025

House Votes

This bill would turn an existing executive order about “transparency regarding foreign influence at American universities” into federal law. In short, it makes the executive order’s rules stick, so they continue even if presidents change. It says that Executive Order 14282 will have the full force of law.

What this means in everyday terms: colleges and universities would have to follow rules meant to shine light on foreign involvement and influence. The goal is to make it clearer when outside countries or groups are connected to activities at U.S. schools.

Key points

• Who is affected: American colleges and universities; students and staff indirectly.
• What changes: The executive order’s transparency rules become law, not just a temporary directive.
• When: It would take effect by being written into law, making the order’s requirements ongoing.
