Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
H.Res. 442 is a symbolic resolution expressing Congress's support for California's three public higher education systems: the University of California, California State University, and California Community Colleges. The resolution recognizes these institutions' significant economic impact—generating over $268 billion in annual economic activity and supporting millions of jobs—as well as their role in providing affordable, accessible education to low-income and underrepresented students. It highlights that these systems serve nearly 2.8 million students collectively and have produced groundbreaking innovations ranging from the internet to hydrogen fuel cells. The resolution does not authorize any funding or establish timelines; instead, it formally acknowledges the importance of these institutions to California's economy and the nation's competitiveness, and pledges Congress's commitment to supporting them going forward.
