HR 6075 United States House · 118th Congress

Grace Hopper Code for Us Act

This bill establishes a program to address critical legacy computer languages used by the federal government but rarely taught in colleges. It requires the Comptroller General to identify at least three such languages (beyond COBOL, Assembly, and PL/I) necessary for government operations and national security. The Grace Hopper Sustainment and Modernization Grant Program then funds up to five institutions of higher education annually (including at least two 2-year colleges) to develop courses teaching maintenance and modernization of these systems. Grants prioritize projects recruiting underrepresented groups, engaging K-12 students, offering student support, incorporating social science perspectives, and securing paid internships with government or private sector partners for students.
