| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join the Texas Council on Economic Education in observing April | ||
| of 2013 as Financial Literacy Month in Texas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Financial literacy is essential to ensure that | ||
| Texans from all walks of life are prepared to manage money, | ||
| credit, investments, and debt, yet many citizens lack the | ||
| knowledge and skills necessary to handle these fundamental | ||
| responsibilities; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The State of Texas has long worked to help its | ||
| citizens gain these capabilities through its requirement that | ||
| high school graduates pass an economics course; the curriculum | ||
| now also includes such topics as paying for college, personal | ||
| financial literacy, the free enterprise system, and career | ||
| information; and | ||
| WHEREAS, It is the responsibility of all citizens to learn | ||
| the benefits of saving and investing for the future; to that end, | ||
| government agencies, consumer groups, the financial industries, | ||
| and others will come together as part of Financial Literacy Month | ||
| to conduct educational events to illustrate the importance of | ||
| these invaluable skills; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this special occasion. | ||
| Taylor | ||
