Bill > HCR68

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Department of Education to incorporate financial literacy, which refers to the knowledge and skills needed to manage money effectively, into the existing Personal Transition Plan (PTP) course requirement for all students. The resolution highlights that financial skills are not always learned at home and that a lack of financial literacy can hinder individuals from achieving financial stability and prosperity. It emphasizes the importance of teaching youth about managing money, credit, and debt to prepare them for financial independence and responsible citizenship. The resolution also calls for consistency in the financial literacy curriculum across all high schools within the Department of Education.
