Middle school students (6th-8th grade) may participate in the Legislative Program Area for the 2027 State Assembly.
Legislators write a bill (alone or with one partner) that they would like to become a law. Students and their bills are assigned to a committee and either the House or the Senate. Throughout the program the students, acting Senators and Representatives, discuss their bill in committee and in session. Once the bill passes committee, as well as House and Senate, it is then put onto the Youth Governors desk to be signed into law or vetoed.
