Bill > SRes406

This resolution designates September 30, 2025, as "Impact Aid Recognition Day" to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Impact Aid program, which was originally established by President Harry S. Truman in 1950. The Impact Aid program, administered by the Secretary of Education, reimburses local educational agencies for revenue losses and costs associated with tax-exempt federal property within their boundaries. In 2025, the program will serve over 600,000 "federally connected children," including children of military personnel, those living on Indian lands, in public housing, or on federal land, and will provide approximately $1.6 billion to around 1,100 local educational agencies enrolling over 8 million students. The resolution highlights the program's longstanding bipartisan support, noting that Congress has reauthorized it 16 times between 1950 and 2020, and recently reorganized its support through the Congressional Impact Aid Caucus. The resolution ultimately recognizes the program's fundamental objective of ensuring high-quality education and opportunities for children in federally impacted school districts.
