Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- In Committee
A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution designates June as "National Annuity Awareness Month". It aims to educate consumers on the benefits of annuities and support access to them to meet financial goals. The resolution also encourages savers to seek professional guidance for income and legacy planning. It calls on various government entities, schools, businesses, and the public to observe the month with appropriate activities.
