Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. (text: CR S1805)
This Senate resolution designates March 24, 2025, as “National Women of Color in Tech Day.” It recognizes historical contributions of women of color in technology, notes gaps in STEM education and workforce representation, and urges public observance.
The resolution pledges Senate support for diversity and inclusion efforts, encourages investment and partnerships with minority-serving institutions, and asks the President and Congress to improve data collection on diversity in STEM.
Text is likely to be adopted by the Senate, but S. Res. is nonbinding and does not become law; legal enactment likelihood is effectively nil.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-formed commemorative resolution: it clearly defines the topic, sets a specific date, and uses standard resolution language to urge awareness and certain actions.
