YG Update

Since we haven't had a meeting yet this year due to snow, I decided to write this to give you all an update concerning Youth in Government. 

All the resources for YG are located in the folder Mr. Zukowski shared with you.  Spend time looking at the "How to Write a Bill" document.  Each partnership will be required to write a bill to create a new West Virginia law or to amend an existing law.   The state legislature is now in session, so there are some examples of legislation currently being considered.  I also have several years of bill books from Youth in Government and you can see how bills have been written in the past.  The West Virginia Code is also a great resource for you.

I ask you to develop ideas in the next week to frame your bill.  We already have had a number of snow days and I don't want you not be finished assuming you just work on it at school.  I will be available at the school after school on most days to help you out.  Hopefully this Friday, I will send out packets of information

The final fee ($190), bills, and supporting materials (Bill Supplements) will be due February 8.  Please use the Bill Template on OneDrive.  Please copy and rename the document with your names.    Do not wait until the last week to start!!!

If you have any questions, please see me.
