By: Miller Family YMCA of Newbury Park The selected bills’ topics were 1) providing tax exempt status for feminine hygiene products, 2) requiring single-stall, gender-neutral bathrooms in public schools and 3) placing a ban on pesticides that are shown to be harmful to bees. The three bills will be debated in committees and then on the State Assembly or Senate floors during the Model Legislature & Court Conference in February in Sacramento. The conference attracts more than 90 Youth & Government delegations and 3,000 delegates from throughout California. While the actual state legislature is in recess, the delegates take over legislative chambers and state capitol conferences rooms to debate bills and pass laws. Miller YMCA Youth & Government delegates attend Newbury Park High School and La Reina High School. “The delegates came up with their own ideas for issues that they would like to see addressed in California,” Youth & Government delegations form at the start of every school year. It is for high school students in grades 9 through 12. For information, contact the Miller Family Y at 805-480-0309, or email Veronica Rodarte at milleryouthgov@ End
