Business Law Section Newsletter
April is now known as “FINANCIAL LITERACY MONTH” In Florida
By Carlos Sardi
Chair of the BLS Financial Literacy Task Force

The past couple of years have certainly increased our awareness about the importance of financial education. The BLS Legislation Committee, Pro Bono Committee and Financial Literacy Task Force were instrumental in enacting into law last year the Dorothy L. Hukill Financial Literacy Act, which now requires high school students entering the freshman year in 2023 to take a financial literacy course to receive a standard high school diploma.
Veterans Financial Literacy Program goes State Wide
The Business Law Section’s Financial Literacy Task Force is proud to announce the launching of their statewide Veterans Financial Literacy Program to take place this coming November 2023 (Veterans Month) in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and Pensacola. You can help veterans across Florida learn to make educated financial decisions and avoid pitfalls. We would very much love for you to participate in this program. If you have not already done so in the past, and are willing to participate in this worthy cause, please feel free to enroll in our database for the BLS Veterans Financial Literacy
Program here.

Feel free to call or write to me for more information, questions or concerns.

Thanks in advance for your help to our veteran community!

Thank you
