Supporting the goals and ideals of "Financial Literacy Month".
HRES 292 is a non-binding House resolution supporting "Financial Literacy Month" to raise awareness about personal finance education. It references statistics showing widespread financial literacy gaps, including 14.2% of U.S. households being unbanked or underbanked, only 42% of adults budgeting, and just 28 states requiring high school economics courses. The resolution calls on federal, state, local, school, nonprofit, and business entities to observe Financial Literacy Month with programs and activities. It does not create new laws or policies but aims to highlight the importance of financial education for managing money, credit, and debt.
