S 2740 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to encourage States to develop academic standards for elementary school and secondary school for artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.
Summary
This bill amends federal education law to encourage states to develop academic standards for artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies in elementary and secondary schools. The bill modifies the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to explicitly include artificial intelligence and emerging technologies as part of the academic standards that states are encouraged to establish for students. The amendment does not mandate that states create these standards, but rather encourages their development as part of existing state education planning requirements. The bill aims to prepare students for an increasingly technology-driven workforce by ensuring education standards address AI and emerging technologies alongside traditional academic subjects.
