This resolution establishes an annual academic competition open to students in each congressional district to develop and submit ideas for modernizing the House of Representatives, focusing on ways to improve its effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency. The competition is designed to serve two purposes: encourage young people to participate in civic life and provide Congress with practical recommendations for improving its operations. Member offices will have flexibility to consult outside experts in government, political science, and civics education when setting up judging criteria and selecting judges for the competition. The House Administration Committee will set the specific rules and regulations governing how the competition operates each year. No specific funding amount or implementation timeline is specified in the resolution, leaving those details to be determined by the House Administration Committee.
