Bill > HF2246

This bill appropriates $300,000 per fiscal year (2026 and 2027) to the YMCA Center for Youth Voice to support civic education programs for youth 18 years old and younger. The funding is intended to help the organization provide teacher professional development, educational resources, and program support for civic education initiatives. The bill specifies that these civic education programs must teach students about constitutional principles, the democratic foundations of national, state, and local institutions, and the political processes and structures of government, with a focus on understanding constitutional government and individual rights. Any unspent funds from fiscal year 2026 will be available for use in fiscal year 2027. The appropriation will be made from the general fund to the Department of Education, and the bill aims to enhance young people's understanding of civic engagement and governmental systems.
