This resolution would encourage greater public-private sector collaboration to promote financial literacy for students and young adults. It would recognize that personal financial literacy is essential to ensuring that individuals are prepared to make informed financial decisions and that young people are often ill-equipped to handle major financial decisions in an increasingly complex financial marketplace. This bill would also express the House’s support for a number of specific measures for improving public-private collaboration to promote financial literacy.

Under this resolution, the House would:

Emphasize the importance of raising awareness of individual financial capability by providing relevant information, financial workshops, and other decision-making tools to consumers of all ages;
Support federal financial agencies’ efforts to partner with organizations focused on developing opportunities for minorities and women in industry internships, summer employment, and full-time positions;
Support federal financial agencies’ efforts to provide consumers with relevant information and decision-making tools regarding important financial decisions; and
Urge the Treasury Dept. to consult with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and implement future national financial capability studies.

As a simple resolution, this legislation is non-binding and wouldn’t advance beyond the House if passed.

Rather than debating and passing this, it’d be better for the House to consider legislation to actually create public-private financial education partnerships.","bill_type":"hres","published":true,"type":"FederalBill","id":"hres327-116","bill_id":"hres327-116","formal_id":"H.
