Plain-English Summary

The CIVICS Act would require schools to teach students about the structure and function of government, voting rights, and civic responsibilities. The bill aims to improve civics education across the country so that young people better understand how democracy works and how to participate in it. This would affect students, teachers, and school districts that would need to implement or expand civics curriculum.
