Supporting the goals and ideals of "Financial Literacy Month".
HRES 291 is a symbolic resolution supporting "Financial Literacy Month" to raise public awareness about the importance of personal financial education in the U.S. It cites statistics showing widespread challenges with financial literacy, such as 18.6% of households being unbanked or underbanked and only 44% of adults having a budget. The resolution urges federal, state, local governments, schools, nonprofits, and businesses to observe Financial Literacy Month with educational programs. It does not create new laws or funding but emphasizes the need for better financial education to help individuals manage money, credit, and debt.
