The California Constitution requires the Legislature to encourage the promotion of intellectual improvement. Existing law regulates financial institutions and their interactions with the public. Existing law recognizes the existence of specialized financial institutions that provide services, including, but not limited to, financial literacy training, to underserved communities. This bill would establish the California Financial Literacy Fund in the State Treasury for the purpose of enabling partnerships with the financial services community and governmental and nongovernmental stakeholders to improve Californians' financial literacy. The bill would require the fund to be administered by the Controller and would authorize the Controller to deposit private donations into the fund. The bill would require those moneys to be made available upon appropriation in the annual Budget Act and would require donations to be returned to contributors if not appropriated within 18 months. The bill would authorize the Controller to convene an advisory committee to provide additional oversight of the fund and develop strategies to improve financial literacy. The bill would prohibit use of donations to promote or market the financial products of any contributor. The bill would require the Controller, beginning in 2013, to provide an annual summary to specified committees of the Legislature on the use of those moneys appropriated from the fund.
