Leave a Comment House reworks financial literacy bill and mandates teaching of handshakes
This financial literacy bill was worked in the House Ed committee where problems relating to how students would fit such a course into their schedules, unfunded mandates and other issues led to a compromise to encourage teaching financial literacy.
