A house RESOLUTION
TO ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND BUSINESSES TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CONSUMER-FACING PROGRAMS OFFERED AT THE STATE TREASURER'S OFFICE (STO) and TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2023, AS "STO PROGRAMS DAY" IN THE PALMETTO STATE.
Whereas, the State Treasurer's Office administers multiple programs to financially benefit the citizens of the Palmetto State; and
Whereas, promoting saving for a college education as an important investment in a child's future as student loan debt continues to increase, South Carolina's Future Scholar 529 College Savings Plan currently serves more than 220,000 families, with more than 5.3 billion dollars in assets under management; and
Whereas, recognizing that individuals with disabilities and their families who care for them should have access to the same kinds of savings' tools that are available to the broader population, the Palmetto ABLE Savings Program provides nearly three thousand individuals with disabilities the opportunity to save for their future without losing government benefits; and
Whereas, ensuring that rightful owners of unclaimed property, or their heirs, always have a right to claim property held in custody by the State Treasurer's Office, the South Carolina Unclaimed Property Program returned 41.1 million dollars last fiscal year and currently has more than 850 million dollars in unclaimed funds available for claim. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, encourage individuals, families, and businesses to learn more about the consumer-facing programs offered at the State Treasurer's Office (STO) and declare Wednesday, April 19, 2023, as "STO Programs Day" in the Palmetto State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Curtis M. Loftis, Jr., Treasurer of the State of South Carolina.
