Back of Book 1 2 STATE YMCA OF GEORGIA YOUTH ASSEMBLY YOUTH GOVERNOR To the Delegates of the 2015 Youth Assembly, It is my greatest pleasure to welcome you to the 71st Annual Georgia Youth Assembly! It has been my honor to serve at the 71st Youth Assembly, the largest in Georgia Youth Assembly history! During the next few days, each of you will experience some of the most memorable moments of your lives. Whether you serve as a lobbyist following the bills in committee, as a judicial participant arguing your side of the case, a Representative or Senator writing and debating your positions on Bills, or as a media delegate documenting the conference, I want to encourage each person here to make the most of your time and this experience. Very few people are given the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the Senators and Representatives, and other state leaders in the Capitol Building. It is my hope you gain a perspective on how our state government runs, your role in the process, and become the leader you need to be in order to become successful in any life situation after Youth Assembly. Through your participation in this event, you are continuing to impress state leaders, and challenge the legislative branch of state government to keep democracy alive. I want to encourage freshmen delegates and those delegates joining us for the first time to immerse yourself in every opportunity possible. Don’t ever be afraid to speak up and share your ideas. You will quickly realize the opportunity you have before you and will encourage others to follow in your footsteps. Seniors, this is your final year to make your impact and let Youth Assembly impact you. Never forget to open yourself to the ideas of others, especially those who have opposing ideas. Enjoy every moment! Don’t forget the experience, the relationships, and the memories you have made. Youth Assembly is a life-changing program, and I can speak from personal experience! It opens doors, develops skills, and creates lasting friendships. Thank you again for giving me the privilege of serving you as Youth Governor, and I look forward to sharing this year’s conference with you all.

  • Presession Report 2019
    PRESESSION REPORT 2019 PRE-FILED LEGISLATION • House http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=2 • Senate http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=1 There were 28 pre-filed pieces of legislation for 2019. While some were on the lighter side – such as naming the judicial center after Governor Nathan Deal and commending the Atlanta Braves 2018 season – some notables include the following: HB 2 – (Rep. Matt Gurtler) Allows certain Georgians to carry a firearm without a permit. HB 8 – (Rep. Debbie Buckner) Exempts certain women’s hygiene products from state sales tax. HR 2 – (Rep. Scot Turner) Prohibits the use of a poll tax in Georgia. HR 6 – (Rep. Michael Caldwell) Provides for term limits for state elected officials. SB 2 – (Sen. Steve Gooch) Allows for EMCs to partner with internet companies to provide broadband service to members. HOT BUTTON ISSUES FOR 2019 Education Throughout the campaign, Governor Kemp presented education as one of his top priorities. Included in this is teacher compensation and a priority on mental health counselors in schools as well as school security. We will also continue to watch and see how the state proceeds with the implementation of the testing pilot program passed in 2018. One complication in education policy in 2019 is a void in leadership in each Chamber. With the retirement of Brooks Coleman in the House and Senator Lindsey Tippins resigning his chairmanship, both committees are currently without a leader. We expect the new chairs to be announced any day now. Rural Georgia Throughout the 2018 Legislative Session and the 2018 Campaign season, we saw a recurring theme in that legislators see the need for reforms that aid rural Georgia.

  • Sine Die 2016
    Georgia Bio Legislative Watch SineDie 2016 Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP The General Assembly has adjourned "Sine Die". In keeping with tradition, lawmakers saved their lengthiest calendar of bills for the final day of the session. They went passed the previously- assumed "midnight deadline" and adjourned closer to 12:30 am. Legislators now rush back to tend to their campaigns in their home districts. While most passed legislation is still 'pending', Governor Deal sent a strong message to Georgia's faith and business communities by vetoing HB 757, the "Free Exercise Protection Act" on Monday. Numerous legislators are calling for an override of the Governor's veto, which would require a 3/5 majority in both chambers to call them back into session. Such an action is supposed to only be used to address a State emergency. We will monitor and notify you if this gains any traction. 2016 Study Committees: Legislators passed numerous resolutions creating study committees. These committees will meet throughout the rest of year and will prepare a final report to be used during in 2017. We will be monitoring and reporting a number of these study committees. House Study Committees • HR 978, by Rep. Wendell Willard (R-Sandy Springs) creates the House Special Study Committee on Judicial Qualifications Commission Reform. • HR 979, by Rep. Penny Houston (R-Nashville) creates the House Study Committee on Programs that Provide Services for the Reading to the Blind and the Visually Impaired. • HR 1093, by Rep. Kimberly Alexander (D-Hiram) creates the House Study Committee on Mental Illness Initiative, Reform, Public Health, and Safety.

In a pilot program, residents of one New Orleans neighborhood monitored flooding in their streets, reporting back to the city to help shape future planning decisions. Together with her friend Elias she now plots the perfect plan to stay in the country. He joined movies and tvshows named The Bill — , Police Stop! Sponsored: Jennifer Seavey. Please sign in to write a review. No Shame. She shines the spotlight on Appalachia. Neil Bryce rated it it was amazing Mar 06, She and her family lived in public housing until , when they purchased a home in Staten Island. What shines through the musicians' words is love of craft, love of culture. The Dreamer. Warmer oceans, for instance, may contribute to crises like the toxin outbreak that shuttered all California crab fisheries for the season. Kate Marvel's Pick. And would I genuinely like them or had they really only been a passing acquaintance? As part of the relaunch, producers have revamped the theme music and credits, introduced a specially-composed score for the episodes and have re-focused the show on character-driven stories. Conservation Voters—backed candidates won 11 out of 13 Republican primaries in state legislative races, too. All the more amazing as I am a paid up member of the nosey parker club.
