National American History and Founders Month Act

National American History and Founders Month designates November as a national observance to promote civics education and awareness of the Nation's founding. It asks the President and the chief executives of each State, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to issue yearly proclamations encouraging programs, ceremonies, and activities that boost historical literacy. The bill cites the 250th anniversary of the Declaration in 2026 and falling proficiency on the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress, where about 13% of eighth graders were proficient in U.S. history and 22% in civics. The change is ceremonial and adds a new section to Title 36 of the U.S. Code.
