PREP Civics and Government Act
The PREP Civics and Government Act (HR 1133) amends the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965 to explicitly include "civics and government" as a subject within the humanities. This change allows the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities to fund educational programs focused on civics and government through existing grant programs. The bill directly affects the Foundation’s funding priorities and organizations applying for humanities grants, such as schools, museums, and community groups offering civics education. It does not create new funding but expands eligibility for current humanities grants to cover civics and government content.
