Welcome to the South Carolina Youth in Government Bill Submission Form!

This form is for any participating students that are members of the Model Legislature to submit their drafted legislation for inclusion in the 2022 Youth in Government Official Bills.

BILLS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 5, 2022.

Bills should address issues that would legitimately be addressed at the state level, not the federal level. Please note that SC YMCA YIG staff does not prohibit bills on any topics. However, any bills deemed inappropriate or not respectful of the seriousness of the program will be removed and the authors will not have another opportunity to submit legislation for the conference. Joke bills are highly discouraged.

Here are the steps you will take when filling out this form:
- Make sure you know the correct chamber your advisor has assigned you to. Bills are either in the House of Representatives, or the Senate.
- Input the email address of a bill partner you want the confirmation email to go to with an attached copy of your final submitted draft.
- Input the email address of your YIG advisor. They will get a confirmation email with an attached copy of your final submitted draft too.
- Input your names and sections of your bill EXACTLY as they will appear in the billbook. SC YMCA YIG staff will not edit your bill for you. It will be input exactly as submitted.
- If a section is going to have subsections (e.g. "A., B., C."), you must type those in yourself. Simply start a new line in the section box and write it just as it appears above.
- There are eight available sections on this form. No bill may be more than eight sections. You do not have to use all sections available. Simply input the content you want to appear in the sections that you want to use.
- Input your Justification & Statement of Facts and the Financial Consideration in the appropriate boxes at the end of the form exactly as you want them to appear in your bill. If you need descriptions of these sections and what you are expected to put in them, download the bill writing instruction document at the link below.
