Assemblymember Kevin McCarty’s bill requiring high school students to take a financial literacy class makes it to Governor’s desk.

“Many young Californians are entering college and the workforce without a baseline understanding of personal finance. This is at a time when they’re being hounded by credit card ads and student loan applications,” said Assemblymember Kevin McCarty. “Personal finance equips youth to make informed decisions about saving, investing, and managing debt, leading to better financial stability in adulthood. Proud to have AB2729 signed by the Governor, ensuring all California students will be able to benefit from a personal finance course.”
