In a November 21, 2018 decision, the District Court for the District of Columbia found that the District of Columbia’s (DC) licensing requirements are preempted by federal law for two types of federal student loans, but not for a third. The case at issue is Student Loan Servicing Alliance v. District of Columbia, No. 18-cv-640 (D. D.C. Nov. 21, 2018). The plaintiff (SLSA) is a national membership organization of student loan servicers.
The decision is 70 pages long and goes into detail as to the analysis of applicable constitutional law, including all arguments that the court dispensed with. This article will discuss only the provisions the court found persuasive.
