Resolution agreed to in Senate without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S6959; text: CR 9/18/2025 S6737)
This Senate resolution designates September 30, 2025, as "Impact Aid Recognition Day" to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Impact Aid program, which was originally established by President Harry Truman in 1950. The Impact Aid program provides federal funding to local school districts that lose tax revenue because they have tax-exempt federal property within their boundaries, such as military bases, Indian reservations, or other federal lands. The program currently serves over 600,000 "federally connected children" including military children, children living on Indian lands, and those in federal housing, with approximately 1,100 school districts receiving $1.6 billion in fiscal year 2025 to educate more than 8 million total students. The resolution has broad bipartisan support with 27 senators as co-sponsors and recognizes the program's continued importance in ensuring quality education for children in communities affected by federal activities.
