Financial Literacy Resource and Accessibility Amendment Act of 2024

This bill amends the Financial Literacy Council Establishment Act to create a new program offering both online and in-person financial resources to District of Columbia residents. The program will cover topics such as bank account types, fees, and educational classes for people of all ages, while also providing assistance with accessing transportation or other barriers to these resources. It requires the program to run a pilot for at least two years and mandates that the Financial Literacy Council evaluate its effectiveness and report progress to the local council. Additionally, the bill directs the promotion of these services through various government agencies and public advertisements like billboards.
