Education, Department of; implement a public awareness campaign for grade levels K-12 regarding blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3; encourage ## Text House Resolution 905 By: Representatives Cannon of the 58th, Willis of the 55th, Bazemore of the 69th, Jackson of the 68th, McQueen of the 61st, and others A RESOLUTION Encouraging the Department of Education to implement a public awareness campaign for grade levels K-12 regarding blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3; and for other purposes. WHEREAS, technology literacy is an important skill at all ages, and innovative technology continues to emerge; and WHEREAS, blockchain computation represents the future of how the world interacts online and shares information through a permanent record of transactions on an open ledger; and WHEREAS, cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, is becoming increasingly accepted and commonly used in lieu of traditional currency and can break down barriers by allowing people around the world to transact with each other for goods and services without the restrictions of traditional financial systems; and WHEREAS, Web3 represents the future of the internet and will revolutionize how businesses interact with each other, provide more secure interactions between users, and allow for additional transparency in records of transactions between people and entities; and WHEREAS, art is now being created, stored, and distributed as nonfungible tokens, and the digitized art market is only just beginning; and WHEREAS, making children aware of the potential of these technologies and encouraging them to use these technologies from a young age will help children utilize them more effectively in the future. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body encourage the Department of Education to implement a public awareness campaign for grade levels K-12 regarding blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 so students are able to recognize the innovations of such technologies at a young age so as to utilize them more effectively in the future. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to the Department of Education. ## Summaries written by Georgia Commons The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution would encourage the Department of Education to run a public awareness campaign teaching K-12 students about blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 technologies. ### Plain-language summary 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 it 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. ## Status - Status: Introduced (2025-04-02) - Last action: House Second Readers (2026-01-12) - Sponsors: Park Cannon, Inga Willis, Debra Bazemore, Derrick Jackson, Mekyah McQueen, Kim Schofield - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/71986 > The history, votes, and amendments (129 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr905.md?full=1
