Whereas, Lifesmarts is sponsored in South Carolina by the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs, the National Coalition for Consumer Education (NCCE), and the MCI Foundation, and various local partners to help educate young people about consumer issues and decision-making they face today and will encounter in the future. Now therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
