House Finance committee unanimously designates April 2026 as Financial Literacy Month
Summary
The committee unanimously passed House Resolution 408 designating April 2026 as Financial Literacy Month; sponsor Representative Carol Hill Evans said the resolution is a bipartisan call to action to expand financial education in schools and communities.
The committee called up House Resolution 408 and voted without objection to designate April 2026 as Financial Literacy Month in the Commonwealth.
Sponsor Representative Carol Hill Evans told the committee the resolution is intended as a call to action, not merely symbolic, and urged schools and community organizations to expand financial‑education efforts. "For too many years in a row, the number of Americans living paycheck to paycheck has been rising steadily," she said, and she cited Act 35 of 2023 as an example of bipartisan cooperation to expand financial literacy in public schools.
The resolution passed with no negative votes recorded during the meeting. The chair thanked the sponsor and moved to other business; consideration of House Bill 1805 was deferred because the prime sponsor was unavailable, and the committee adjourned.
