The bill aims to strengthen how the museum reaches students and educators through these programs, though the specific funding amounts and program details aren't detailed in the available information. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect the NMAAHC and the communities it serves, including students, teachers, and educators across the country who use the museum's educational resources.
