BALTIMORE, MD, August 2, 2022 – In overwhelming bipartisan fashion, the U.S. House of Representatives last week passed the “Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act,” (H.R. 3588) which, if enacted, would modernize STEM education in the United States. The bill passed by a vote of 323 to 92. The legislation now awaits Senate action on its identical companion bill (S. 1839), which was introduced by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.
