Background

According to the Committee on House Administration, less than one-third of eighth graders are proficient in science and mathematics.  H.Res. 77 creates an academic competition which aims to promote student interest and participation in the fields of STEM, areas in which the United States is currently falling behind.

Summary

H.Res. 77 establishes an academic competition in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) which shall be held each year among students in each Congressional district.  Students will submit entries (e.g., a smartphone application) to their Representative, who will then determine the winner for their district, similar to the process of the Congressional Art Competition.

Cost

There is no cost estimate currently available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
