4-H Congress is an awesome opportunity for our youth that is very unique to Texas 4-H!
Visit: https://texas4-h.tamu.edu/events/congress/
Any 4-H member, regardless of age or planning on attending Texas 4-H Congress, must submit a legislative bill for consideration. Participation in the bill writing exercise allows 4-H members the opportunity to become engaged in the legislative process and the 4-H citizen-ship project. 4-H members attending Texas 4-H Congress will be required to submit at least
one bill (this includes Texas 4-H Council, Tech Team, etc) prior to their registration to the event being accepted.
Committees are a bit different this year and will include an Agriculture and Livestock focused committee. The committee structure for Texas 4-H Congress 2020 follows.
• Agriculture and Livestock (AGL) • Education (EDU) • Energy and Environment (EEV) • Government, Finance, & Appropriations (GFA) • Homeland Security and Public Safety (HPS) • Judiciary and Juvenile Justice (JJJ) • Public Health & Welfare (PHW)
Learn More about Writing & Submitting a Bill at: http://texas4-h.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/congress_preparing_bill_2020.pdf
