The bill asks the President to designate a month each year as National American History and Founders Month. It also asks the President to call on the public to observe the month. State, District of Columbia, territorial, and possession chief executives are asked to issue similar calls for programs and activities that support civics education and historical literacy.
The bill requests, but does not require, public officials to make these designations and calls. It encourages people and organizations to take part in related programs, ceremonies, and activities.
