Bill > H4206

This resolution authorizes the Greenville Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) to use the South Carolina House of Representatives Chamber and available committee hearing rooms in the Blatt Building for its Youth in Government program on three specific dates in November 2025: Thursday, November 6; Friday, November 7; and Monday, November 17. The Youth in Government program is designed to provide high school and middle school students with hands-on experience in state legislative processes, allowing them to run for statewide offices, enact mock legislation, and organize their own government. The resolution emphasizes that the chamber may not be used if the House is in session or if the space is otherwise unavailable, and stipulates that the YMCA must adhere strictly to the House of Representatives' policies and rules. The House's Sergeant at Arms is instructed to provide necessary assistance and access for the event, and a copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the YMCA Youth in Government program's Executive Director and the House Sergeant at Arms. The program aims to encourage youth to develop enthusiasm and appreciation for government and community affairs, with approximately 1,500 students expected to participate statewide.
