Congratulations to NAIFA-California for its advocacy work that contributed to the California Legislature passing (and the Governor signing) AB 2927 by Assemblyman McCarty (D-Sacramento). The bill reflects years of efforts to require financial literacy be included in high school curriculum and required for graduation.
The recently agreed-to compromise was supported by NAIFA-California and resulted in the proposed November ballot initiative being pulled by its sponsor NGPF Mission 2030, an affiliate of Next Gen Personal Finance. The Governor and Legislative leaders praised the compromise and expressed their strong support of ensuring students are given the life tools necessary to make sound financial decisions at a young age. Students will begin to see the curriculum in the 2027-28 school year.
NAIFA-California’s advocacy win is NAIFA grassroots at its best.
