In plain language

This resolution does not change Georgia law or create any binding requirement. Instead, it expresses the Georgia House of Representatives' view that emerging technologies like blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 (a term for a proposed next generation of the internet built on decentralized technology) are becoming important and that children should learn about them early. The resolution encourages the Department of Education to implement a public awareness campaign for students in kindergarten through 12th grade covering these topics, including nonfungible tokens (digital certificates of ownership for art or other digital items). It does not set a budget, a timeline, or specific curriculum requirements. The only concrete action directed is that the Clerk of the House make a copy of the resolution available to the Department of Education for its awareness.

What the bill does

  • Encourages, but does not require, the Department of Education to create a public awareness campaign about blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 for K-12 students.
  • States the House's position that technology literacy in these areas benefits students who learn about them from a young age.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the Department of Education.
  • Does not create funding, a curriculum mandate, or any enforceable deadline for the Department of Education to act.

Who it affects

The Georgia Department of Education, which is encouraged but not required to act, and K-12 public school students across Georgia who could be exposed to lessons on blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 if the department chooses to respond.

Why it matters

Because this is a resolution rather than a law, it carries no binding force and creates no new funding or classroom requirement. Its practical effect depends entirely on whether the Department of Education chooses to develop and pay for such a campaign on its own.

Key provisions

  • The resolving clause encourages the Department of Education to implement a K-12 public awareness campaign on blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3.
  • A closing clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute a copy of the resolution to the Department of Education.
  • The whereas clauses describe blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 and state a rationale for early technology education but do not carry legal effect.
