Bill Summary · HR 83

Summary — HR 83 (Michigan) — "Junior Achievement Week" (2025)

Purpose and intent

HR 83 is a ceremonial House resolution that designates April 30–May 6, 2025, as "Junior Achievement Week" in the state of Michigan. The resolution recognizes Junior Achievement (JA) for its work advancing financial literacy, supporting students as they meet the state’s personal finance graduation requirement, and strengthening families and communities through education, volunteerism, and school–community partnerships. The resolution also ties the observance to April’s designation as Financial Literacy Month.

Key provisions

  • Officially declares April 30–May 6, 2025, as Junior Achievement Week in Michigan.
  • Commends Junior Achievement’s leaders, coordinators, teachers, volunteers, board members, and staff for their contributions to financial education.
  • Encourages Michigan residents to use the week to celebrate JA and to reflect on the importance of financial literacy and education for youth.
  • Highlights the role JA plays in preparing students for financial independence and responsible money management, and its alignment with the state’s graduation requirement in personal finance.
  • Directs the membership of the House to recognize and honor JA during the designated week (ceremonial only; no appropriation or regulatory change).

Who is affected / impact

  • Directly recognizes and benefits Junior Achievement as an organization (visibility and public recognition).
  • Positively highlights educators, program volunteers, students, families, and community partners involved with JA programs.
  • The resolution is largely symbolic: it does not create legal obligations, change funding, or modify education policy. Its practical impact is increased public recognition and encouragement of community participation in JA activities and financial literacy promotion.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Introduced in the Michigan House (filed/introduced in January 2025; sponsor listed as Representative Donavan McKinney with many co-sponsors across the House).
  • Considered on Local & Consent Calendars and the Congratulatory & Memorial Resolutions Calendar.
  • Adopted by the Michigan House (recorded adoption and related calendar actions in April 2025).
  • Enrolled and signed by the Speaker (late April 2025) and presented to the Secretary of State (May 5, 2025).
  • Status: Adopted (ceremonial resolution).

Additional context

  • HR 83 is a non-binding recognition resolution intended to promote awareness of financial literacy and to honor the work of a nonprofit (Junior Achievement). It does not require executive action, create rights or duties, or appropriate state funds.
