What this bill does
H.Res. 867 is a House resolution acknowledging November 8, 2025, as "National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Day." It does not create programs, funding, or legal requirements; instead, it formally recognizes the importance of STEM education and workforce development. The resolution cites statistics on STEM employment growth, declining student readiness in STEM subjects, and underrepresentation of certain racial and ethnic groups in STEM careers.
The resolution affects no one directly through binding action, but it speaks to students, educators, STEM businesses, community organizations, and federal agencies. It encourages STEM businesses to engage with local schools and out-of-school programs, urges federal agencies to collaborate in supporting STEM education—including through federal contracts—and calls on the public to observe the day with relevant activities. It also reaffirms a general goal of ensuring student access to STEM education, including computer science, technological literacy, and artificial intelligence exposure.
The bill was introduced on November 7, 2025, by Rep. Luz Rivas (D-CA), with Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) as a cosponsor, and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. As a simple resolution, it would not go to the Senate or the President; if passed by the House, it would represent a symbolic statement rather than binding law.
