Bill > HR120

This resolution recognizes April 2025 as "Financial Literacy Month" in Pennsylvania, building on a national tradition that began in 2004 and originated with the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE). The resolution highlights the importance of financial education by referencing historical support from Congress, including a 2003 initiative encouraging President George W. Bush to declare April as Financial Literacy Month, and a 2021 proclamation by President Biden recognizing financial literacy challenges. The document emphasizes that a strong financial foundation starts with education on budgeting and increasing financial knowledge, and acknowledges that despite progress, more efforts are needed to enhance financial literacy. The resolution formally calls on the House of Representatives to recognize the month and encourage ongoing awareness and advancement of financial literacy skills, with the ultimate goal of helping individuals improve their financial well-being.
