Summary

**What it does:** This bill would require colleges and universities that receive federal funding to regularly report information about their non-citizen students, faculty, and staff to a government database called the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). **Who it affects:** - All higher education institutions receiving federal assistance (grants, student loans, etc.) - International students, faculty, and administrators at these schools - Foreign nationals who are not permanent U.S. residents **What would change:** Universities would need to collect and submit data about non-citizens on their campuses to the federal government on a regular basis. This expands current reporting requirements, which primarily focus on certain student visa holders. Schools would face new administrative obligations to track and report this information. **Current status:** The bill is in committee, meaning it's being reviewed but hasn't been voted on yet.
