What this bill does
**Summary of S. 2740 — RAISE Act of 2025**
This bill would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to add a reference to artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies within the existing provision governing state academic content standards. Specifically, it modifies the language describing the academic standards states adopt so that it explicitly includes standards for artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, alongside the other subjects already covered by that provision.
The bill would primarily affect state education agencies, which set academic standards for public elementary and secondary schools, and by extension students and teachers in K-12 systems. It does not create a federal mandate requiring specific AI curricula, nor does it establish funding, penalties, or detailed content requirements; rather, it adds AI and emerging technologies to the list of subject areas states are encouraged to address when developing their own academic standards under existing law.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on September 9, 2025, by Senator Jon Husted, with Senators Blunt Rochester and Cassidy as cosponsors, and has been referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. It has not yet been voted on. Next steps would include potential committee consideration, possible amendment, and a vote before it could advance to the full Senate and, if passed, to the House of Representatives.
