Bill > HR7183

This bill, titled the "Youth Financial Learning Act," aims to boost financial literacy among secondary school students by authorizing the Secretary of Education to award competitive grants to State educational agencies. These agencies, in turn, will use the funds to support local educational agencies (LEAs) in integrating financial literacy education into public elementary and secondary schools. The grants can be used for activities like developing curriculum, providing technical assistance, and evaluating the impact of financial education. LEAs receiving subgrants will be expected to implement or expand school-based financial literacy programs covering topics such as consumer, economic, entrepreneurship, and personal finance concepts, including credit and student loans. They will also promote partnerships with community-based organizations for financial literacy activities and support professional development for educators to embed this education into a well-rounded curriculum. State educational agencies receiving grants will be required to provide matching funds from non-Federal sources, and the grant funds must supplement, not replace, existing funding. The bill authorizes appropriations for these grants for fiscal year 2026 and the following four years.
