S. Printed 4/12/95--S.
Read the first time April 6, 1995.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 713), to authorize the South Carolina Young Men's Christian Association to use the Senate Chamber, etc., respectfully
Has polled the Concurrent Resolution out of Committee without report.
TO AUTHORIZE THE SOUTH CAROLINA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION TO USE THE SENATE CHAMBER, THE CHAMBER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND THE COMMITTEE HEARING ROOMS IN THE BLATT AND GRESSETTE BUILDINGS ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1995, AND FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1995, TO CONDUCT A YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT PROGRAM.
Whereas, the Youth in Government program is designed to provide first-hand experience in the state legislature and government affairs for secondary 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; and
Whereas, forty-three states have successful Youth in Government programs; and
Whereas, the South Carolina High School Youth in Government program is the largest per-capita Youth in Government program in the nation; and
Whereas, the South Carolina High School Youth in Government program has been named the most outstanding in the nation two years in a row. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly authorize the South Carolina Young Men's Christian Association to use the Senate Chamber, the Chamber of the House of Representatives, and such hearing rooms as may be available in the legislative office buildings on Thursday, November 30, 1995, and Friday, December 1, 1995, to conduct a Youth in Government program. If the renovations to either the State House or the Carolina Plaza, or both, render either or both of these locations unsuitable in the judgment of the Clerks of the Senate and the House of Representatives, then the unsuitable location may not be used. In such case, the clerks shall make an effort to fully accommodate the participants in the Gressette and Blatt Buildings.
Be it further resolved that the offices of the Sergeants at Arms of the Senate and of the House of Representatives shall provide assistance and access as necessary for this meeting in accordance with applicable procedures, Rules of the Senate, and Rules of the House of Representatives.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Ms. Mary Capers Bledsoe, Executive Director, YMCA Youth in Government, and the Honorable James R. Melton and the Honorable Mitchell G. Dorman, Sergeants at Arms of the Senate and of the House of Representatives, respectively.
