tv_txt: IV 115th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 369 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 25, 2017 Mr. Wittman submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means RESOLUTION Recognizing May 29, 2017, as National 529 Day .

Whereas the United States is committed to competing in the global economy and providing all students with the education and skills that will enable them to compete successfully; Whereas it is in the best interest of our Nation’s employers to ensure a well-educated workforce; Whereas post-secondary education at colleges, graduate schools, vocational schools and technical institutions is an investment in one’s future which opens doors to better jobs and higher earnings; Whereas saving in advance for higher education can help Americans reach their personal and professional goals and avoid student loan debt; Whereas 529 savings plans allow families to dedicate funds towards their own education or the education of a loved one in an account that will grow tax free for future use toward qualified higher education expenses; and Whereas National 529 Day is an opportunity for all Americans to learn about and begin saving to achieve their higher education needs: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives hereby recognizes National 529 Day and the opportunities that 529 savings plans provide American families to save for education.
