Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
This House resolution expresses support for declaring 2026 the “Year of Math” in the United States.
It celebrates the U.S. hosting the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Philadelphia in July 2026 and highlights mathematics’ role in STEM, national security, economic prosperity, and daily life.
The resolution promotes increasing the visibility of mathematical sciences and engaging students, parents, and educators.
As a House resolution it is declarative and cannot itself create law; becoming binding law is unlikely.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative House resolution that clearly states reasons for supporting a 2026 'Year of Math' (notably hosting the ICM 2026) and uses standard, non-binding language to express support and recognition.

Likely favorable toward celebrating mathematics and using the ICM to inspire future scientists.
Would seek stronger emphasis on equity, outreach to underrepresented students, and links to public education funding.
Views the resolution as a useful symbolic tool if paired with concrete investments and inclusive programming.
Generally supportive of a symbolic resolution that promotes STEM and showcases the ICM.
Appreciates potential workforce and national security messages but is cautious about unfunded or purely performative initiatives.
Will look for pragmatic follow-ons like teacher support and measurable outcomes.
Likely supportive of honoring mathematics’ role in economic growth and national security, and of celebrating an international conference hosted in the U.S. May be skeptical of federal activism or mandates tied to the resolution, and prefers local control and private-sector involvement for education initiatives.
