IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES SEPTEMBER 17, 201 Ms. HEITKAMP introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions A BILL To provide for the establishment of a mechanism to allow borrowers of private education loans to refinance their loans, and for other purposes Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the Private Education Loan Modification Act of 201. SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) FINDINGS. Congress finds that SSpencer on DSKSPTVN1PROD with BILLS 8 (1) as of 201, the Federal Reserve Consumer 9 Credit Report stated that there is more than 10 $1,00,000,000,000 in outstanding student loan VerDate Sep :29 Sep 18, 201 Jkt PO Frm Fmt 2 Sfmt 201 E:\BILLS\S200.IS S200

The purpose of this Act is to spur 1 economic growth, by establishing a mechanism to allow 1 borrowers of private education loans to refinance their 17 loans in order 18 (1) to facilitate greater competition in the pri- 19 vate education lending and refinancing markets, par- 20 ticularly those serving underserved and rural loca- 21 tions; 22 (2) to address inefficiencies in the private edu- 2 cation lending and refinancing markets; 2 () to encourage innovation in the private edu- 2 cation refinancing markets; and VerDate Sep :29 Sep 18, 201 Jkt PO Frm 0000 Fmt 2 Sfmt 201 E:\BILLS\S200.IS S200
