Three helpful features of NGPF’s 2025 Financial Education Bill Tracker

1. Just give me the highlights!

Archaic “legalese.” Odd formatting. Subcommittees to reform sub-sub-sections of statutes buried deep in state administrative code. Sometimes it feels like you need to learn a whole new language in order to decipher state legislation! As experienced financial education policy nerds (and proud of it!), our team speaks that language fluently. We analyze the minutiae of each state's high school financial education bills, then break them down into plain, digestible language.

By summarizing each bill, NGPF's 2025 Financial Education Bill Tracker buys you time that you can spend… advocating!

2. Find and track bills just in your state

Click any bill on the 2025 Financial Education Bill Tracker to be redirected to its state legislature’s webpage. Most statehouses offer a bill update service for residents so you can be notified as soon as hearings are scheduled, new sponsors are added, or language is amended.

3. Sort by most recent updates

Bills with recent or frequent activity often signal strong support or urgency from legislators. NGPF’s 2025 Financial Education Bill Tracker includes an "Updates" column to help you identify which bills are gaining momentum. Click ‘Sort by Updates’ to organize the bills with most recent changes first.

Thank you for advocating for Mission 2030!

Twenty-six states serving 64% of all U.S. public high school students have prioritized financial education by making it a standalone graduation requirement. Will your state be next? Thank you for standing up for smart financial education policy in your school, your community, your state, and your country!
