Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill requests the President to officially designate one month each year as National American History and Founders Month. The bill does not mandate the designation but rather asks the President to issue an annual proclamation and encourages state governors and territorial leaders to do the same. The legislation aims to promote civics education and historical awareness among Americans, particularly young people, by supporting educational programs, ceremonies, and activities that highlight the country's founding principles and the Founding Fathers' contributions. The bill cites declining proficiency in history and civics education among students and references the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. There is no specific funding allocated in the bill, and the designation would be implemented immediately upon passage with no defined end date.
