Strengthen and Unite Communities with Civics Education and English Development Act of 2015

H.R. 2794, the Strengthen and Unite Communities with Civics Education and English Development Act of 2015, seeks to improve the integration of immigrants into American society by expanding access to English language and civics education. The bill would provide federal grants to states for literacy programs and establish a new Office of Citizenship and Immigrant Integration to coordinate these efforts at the national level. Additionally, it offers a tax credit to businesses that provide English literacy and basic education programs for their employees, while creating national awards to recognize businesses and naturalized citizens who contribute significantly to the community.
