Cloture Motion: Student Loan Interest Rates -
Vote Rejected (52-45, 1 Present, 2 Not Voting)
This bill would extend the
current 3.4 percent interest rate on federally-subsidized Stafford loans to
undergraduate students for one year. This extension would be paid for by
eliminating a tax preference for certain shareholders of S-Corporations. The
Senate failed to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to invoke cloture, and
thereby end debate, on the motion to proceed to the bill. It is possible the
Senate will hold another cloture vote on this bill. The House passed a competing
version (H.R.4628) on April 27.
