Expressing support for declaring 2026 the "Year of Math" in the United States.
Summary
H.Res. 1091 is a non-binding resolution that would express congressional support for declaring 2026 the Year of Math in the United States. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a symbolic statement of support from Congress.
If enacted, this resolution would formally recognize 2026 as a year dedicated to promoting mathematics in the country. Such a designation could encourage educational initiatives, public awareness campaigns, and institutional efforts to advance mathematical literacy and interest in STEM fields. However, since this is a non-binding resolution, it would not create any legal requirements or direct funding for math programs.
The resolution was introduced on March 2, 2026, by Representative Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) and is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. Most introduced bills do not advance further, and this resolution has not yet received committee action.
