What This Bill Does
This House Resolution expresses Congressional support for designating October 2025 as "National Financial Planning Month." It's a symbolic statement encouraging Americans to participate in financial education activities like budgeting workshops, investment seminars, and retirement planning classes. The resolution has no legal force—it doesn't create new laws, require anyone to do anything, or spend taxpayer money.
