Bill Summary

This resolution would designate May 4, 2026, as a "National Day of Reason" to recognize the importance of rational thinking and scientific reasoning in solving human problems and improving society. The designation is largely symbolic and does not create any new laws or programs, but rather expresses Congress's support for promoting reason and critical thinking as values. The resolution affects no specific group of people or industries, but instead makes a statement about the importance of evidence-based decision-making in addressing challenges facing the country.
