A Resolution designating May 29, 2024, as "College and Career Savings Day" in Pennsylvania.
This bill designates May 29, 2024, as "College and Career Savings Day" in Pennsylvania to raise public awareness about the state's 529 savings program. The resolution honors the program's history and highlights its tax benefits, which allow residents to save for postsecondary education, K-12 costs, and apprenticeships without incurring federal or state taxes on growth. It also recognizes the program's two investment options and its significant role in helping over 293,000 accounts hold more than $7.2 billion in savings. As a commemorative measure, the bill does not alter any existing laws or financial rules but serves to promote the value of saving for future education and career opportunities.
