 To provide an opportunity for States to modify agreements under title 
      II of the Social Security Act with respect to student wages.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. EXEMPTION FOR STUDENTS EMPLOYED BY STATE SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, 
              OR UNIVERSITIES.

    Notwithstanding section 218 of the Social Security Act, any 
agreement with a State (or any modification thereof) entered into 
pursuant to such section may, at the option of such State, be modified 
at any time before January 1, 2000, so as to exclude service performed 
in the employ of a school, college, or university if such service is 
performed by a student who is enrolled and is regularly attending 
classes at such school, college, or university.

SEC. 2. EFFECTIVE DATE OF MODIFICATION.

    Any modification of an agreement pursuant to section 1 shall be 
effective with respect to services performed after the end of the 
calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which such agreement 
is modified.

SEC. 3. IRREVOCABILITY OF MODIFICATION.

    If any modification of an agreement pursuant to section 1 
terminates coverage with respect to service performed in the employ of 
a school, college, or university, by a student who is enrolled and 
regularly attending classes at such school, college, or university, the 
Commissioner of Social Security and the State may not thereafter modify 
such agreement so as to again make the agreement applicable to such 
service performed in the employ of such school, college, or university.
