DIGEST 

Currently, for each of the last 52 years, the YMCAs of Texas have sponsored
a youth and government program with the purpose of training the state's
youth in the process of representative government and democracy.
Participants are elected by their local YMCA youth clubs or high schools,
and the preparatory district conferences set the agendas for the annual
program. Plans are under way for the 52nd and 53rd annual Texas YMCA model
legislature and judicial sessions to be held in Austin. Contemplated dates
for those sessions are Thursday through Sunday, March 4-7, 1999, and
January 27-30, 2000, with opening sessions each year planned for Thursday
evening and mock legislative sessions planned for Friday and Saturday. The
legislature supports the YMCA youth and government program as a means of
developing an informed citizenry and as a training ground for future state
officials.  

PURPOSE

As proposed, S.C.R. 25 submits the following resolution: 

That the 76th Legislature of the State of Texas grants permission to the
YMCA and government program to use the house and senate chambers and
committee rooms on March 4, 5, 6 and 7, 1999, and on January 27, 28, 29 and
30, 2000, provided that the house of representatives and senate are not in
session.
