What this bill does
H.Res. 1174 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for the goals of Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month, observed each April. It does not create new programs, funding, or legal requirements. Instead, it formally states that the House supports increasing public visibility of mathematics and statistics as fields of study, recognizes that these fields underpin all STEM disciplines important to U.S. education and economic prosperity, and celebrates their role in everyday life, including in technology, cybersecurity, and education.
The resolution cites background information, such as the history of the observance dating to a 1986 proclamation by President Reagan, and notes ongoing efforts to increase participation by women and underrepresented minorities in mathematical sciences careers. Because it is a resolution rather than legislation with binding effect, it would not directly affect any individuals, businesses, or government agencies; its impact would be limited to expressing the House's position.
The bill was introduced on April 29, 2024, by Rep. Young Kim with several cosponsors, and was referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. According to available records, it did not receive a vote before the end of the 118th Congress, meaning it did not advance further and would need to be reintroduced in a future Congress to be considered again.
