Treasury must help states teach parents about child savings accounts.

What it does

The bill tells the Treasury Secretary to write guidance for states. The guidance explains three types of savings accounts for children. They are 529 college savings plans, 529A ABLE accounts, and section 530A accounts. The bill also asks Treasury to work with Health and Human Services. Together they would help states reach new parents with this information.

Who it affects

Families with children could learn about these savings accounts. States would get guidance on how to share information with parents. Financial companies that run these accounts could see more customers.

One thing to notice

The bill does not create new accounts or new tax breaks. It only asks the government to write guidance about accounts that already exist.
