VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

6/27/2018

TO CONGRATULATE THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO MOLD TODAY'S YOUTH INTO TOMORROW'S LEADERS, TO WISH THEM MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THEIR NOBLE EFFORTS, AND TO AUTHORIZE THEIR USE OF THE CHAMBER OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2018; HOWEVER, THE CHAMBER MAY NOT BE USED IF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS IN SESSION OR THE CHAMBER IS OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE.

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina deem it appropriate to pause in their deliberations to honor the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus (SCLBC) for their work with the youth of the Palmetto State, providing them with tools to lead them to the path of success; and

Whereas, on Tuesday, October 30, 2018, the SCLBC will host the thirteenth annual Youth Legislative Conference. This is an event for South Carolina high school students, providing them with an opportunity to engage in a mock legislative session. They will act as legislators for the day by discussing bills on the committee level and debating legislation on the State House floor; and

Whereas, this mock process replicates the actual procedure utilized to transition a bill into a law, allowing high school students to receive firsthand experience in how decisions are made and how legislation moves through the South Carolina General Assembly; and

Whereas, in 2017, the Youth Legislative Conference had participation from one hundred four high school students from over thirty schools across the State. The SCLBC also invites colleges and universities to attend for the college fair portion so that high school students can not only learn about the legislative process, but also of the higher education opportunities available to them; and

Whereas, past participants, students and counselors alike, have found great value in this event in the past, reaching out to the SCLBC to express their gratitude for the hands-on experience, as well as the enlightening tour of the capital; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives are grateful for the legacy the SCLBC has created and wish them many more years of success with the annual Youth Legislative Conference; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus for their efforts to mold today's youth into tomorrow's leaders and wish them much continued success in their noble efforts. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus for their efforts to mold today's youth into tomorrow's leaders, wish them much continued success in their noble efforts, and authorize their use of the chamber of the South Carolina House of Representatives on Tuesday, October 30, 2018; however, the chamber may not be used if the House of Representatives is in session or the chamber is otherwise unavailable.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus.
