VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A concurrent RESOLUTION
TO DECLARE THE MONTH OF APRIL 2026 AS "FINANCIAL LITERACY MONTH" IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, it is vital that South Carolina's public schools teach financial literacy to our students and prepare them to make appropriate personal financial decisions for college, career, and civic participation; and
Whereas, states across the country have designed financial literacy programs and standards that assist students in preparing for their future lives; and
Whereas, Youth Finance USA has determined that financial literacy is not just a high school concern but, rather, a concern for students throughout their K-12 education and college years; and
Whereas, educational institutions, governments, private businesses, and community-based organizations should work together in educating consumers to make sound financial decisions; and
Whereas, a strong group of educators and organizations are presently working to improve financial literacy and the handling of personal finances throughout South Carolina. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, declare the month of April 2026 as "Financial Literacy Month" in the State of South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Youth Finance USA, South Carolina Chapter.
