TO AUTHORIZE THE GREENVILLE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION TO USE THE SENATE CHAMBER AND THE COMMITTEE HEARING ROOMS IN THE GRESSETTE BUILDING ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1993, AND FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1993, TO CONDUCT A YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT PROGRAM.
Amend Title To Conform
Whereas, forty-two states have successful Youth in Government programs; and
Whereas, the Youth in Government program is designed to provide first-hand experience in the state legislature and government affairs for high school students; and
Whereas, students taking part in the program will run for statewide office, pass legislation, and organize their own government; and
Whereas, the purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association's Youth in Government program is to encourage our youth to develop enthusiasm and appreciation for government and community affairs. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate authorize the Greenville Young Men's Christian Association to use the Senate Chamber and the committee hearing rooms in the Gressette Building in accordance with Senate Rule 36 on Thursday, December 2, 1993, and Friday, December 3, 1993, to conduct a Youth in Government program. If the Senate is in statewide session, the Senate Chamber may not be used.
Be it further resolved that Senate Security shall provide assistance and access as necessary for this meeting in accordance with applicable procedures and Rules of the Senate.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Ms. Mary Capers Bledsoe, Executive Director, YMCA Youth in Government, and Jim Melton, Sergeant at Arms and Director of Senate Security.
