Three Republican senators introduced legislation to eliminate the Department of Education. The bill would codify President Donald Trump’s recent executive order to abolish the agency.

Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Bernie Moreno (R-OH) introduced the bill on Thursday to “terminate the Department of Education.” The department’s final day would be Dec. 31, 2026, according to the proposed legislation.
