Introduced in House, referred to committee
This resolution seeks to formally express the House of Representatives' support for designating March 26, 2026, as National Science Appreciation Day. The resolution was introduced by Ms. Ross from North Carolina, Mr. McCormick from Georgia, and Mr. Amo from Rhode Island. It has been sent to a committee for review and discussion.
Introduced Mar 26, 2026
This resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 26, 2026, and immediately referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. For it to pass, the committee must consider it, and then the full House of Representatives would need to vote on it. Since it is a House Resolution, it only expresses the sentiment of the House and does not go to the Senate or require the President's signature to become effective.
If passed, this resolution would officially recognize March 26, 2026, as a day to celebrate American scientific achievements, potentially leading to related events or educational initiatives. The stated purpose is to encourage greater appreciation for science and technology's role in daily life and inspire young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). It would serve as a reminder of how science improves various sectors, from health to economics.
