HR905: HR905 Education, Department of; implement a public awareness campaign for grade levels K-12 regarding blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3; encourage
Last action January 12, 2026 · House Second Readers
A Georgia House resolution encourages the Department of Education to run a public awareness campaign for K-12 students about blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 technologies.
In plain language
This resolution does not create any law or funding. It simply expresses the Georgia House of Representatives' view that technology literacy about emerging digital tools matters for students of all ages. The resolution's whereas clauses describe blockchain as a permanent, shared online record of transactions, cryptocurrency (including Bitcoin) as an increasingly used alternative to traditional currency, Web3 as a future version of the internet with more secure and transparent interactions, and nonfungible tokens as a new way art is created and sold. The resolution's only operative action is to encourage the Department of Education to implement a public awareness campaign for grade levels K-12 covering these three topics, so students can recognize and later use these technologies effectively. It also directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the Department of Education.
What the bill does
- Encourages, but does not require, the Department of Education to launch a K-12 public awareness campaign about blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3.
- Creates no new statute, funding, curriculum mandate, or enforcement mechanism since it is a resolution rather than a bill.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send a copy of the resolution to the Department of Education.
Who it affects
The Georgia Department of Education, which is being encouraged to act, and K-12 public school students and teachers, who would be the audience for any awareness campaign the Department chooses to create in response.
Why it matters
Because this is a nonbinding resolution, no school district or student sees any immediate change unless the Department of Education voluntarily creates a campaign. Its main effect is to put the House's support for teaching students about blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 on the record.
