Bill > HR1968

This resolution grants the Missouri YMCA Youth in Government Program permission to use the House Chamber for two state conventions in 2025. The first convention, the Lewis State Convention, will be held on November 14-15, 2025, with specific time frames from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The second convention, the Clark State Convention, will be held on December 5-6, 2025, with similar time frames. The resolution recognizes the YMCA Youth in Government Program as an educational experience that allows high school students to participate in mock legislative hearings and discussions of current issues. Representative Mackey or his designee is required to be present and assume responsibility for the group's actions. The resolution includes strict guidelines for participants, mandating appropriate behavior, dress, and decorum, and prohibiting food, drinks, smoking, photography, hanging banners, and accessing certain areas of the House Chamber. These provisions aim to preserve the dignity and honor of the House of Representatives while providing an educational opportunity for students to learn about state government.
