A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of "Financial Literacy Month."

The resolution calls upon various entities, including the Federal Government, schools, and businesses, to observe this month with specific programs and activities. It highlights various statistics regarding unbanked households, household debt, and the lack of required personal finance courses in schools. Ultimately, the measure seeks to promote economic activity and growth through better financial understanding.
