Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Introduced March 5, 2025 by Marjorie Taylor Greene · Last progress 1 year ago
Declares English the official language of the United States, creates a new rule for how English-language federal laws are read, and directs the Department of Homeland Security to propose a single, uniform English test for naturalization. It also establishes a National English Language Day with a presidential proclamation.
The new interpretation rule presumes English-language requirements and workplace policies are lawful unless another law says otherwise, and it instructs that any ambiguity in English-language federal laws should be resolved in ways that do not deny retained rights and that respect state powers. Most operative changes take effect 180 days after enactment, and DHS must publish the naturalization test proposal within that time and open it for public comment.
