Texas 4‐H Congress July 12-15, 2020
Texas State Capitol, Austin
Texas 4-H Congress is a four‐day mock legislative experience for 4‐H members in grades 9th to 12th (at the time of the event). During this time, 4‐H members assume the roles of legislators, lobbyists, and press corps to gaina first‐hand understanding of how the legislative process works. Bills that are written and sponsored by 4‐H members focus on issues concerning Texas and Texas youth. These bills are assigned to the appropriate committee, debated in committee meetings, and then on the floor of the House or Senate. If a bill is successful in negotiation and the legislative debate in all three stages, it is delivered to the Governor of Texas 4‐H Congress for his or her signature or veto. Copies of all the bills that are signed into law during Texas 4‐H Congress are provided to the Office of the Governor for review. Cost: $525. Registration costs include hotel, transportation to Austin, meals, snacks and production feeds. Other costs that delegates may incur include meals in-route to and from Austin, 3 breakfast meals while in Austin and incidental spending. Swisher County 4-H Adult Leaders will cover $500 of the cost for one trip to Texas 4-H Congress for SENIOR 4-H Members who have completed and turned in a record book as a senior 4-H member. All participants in Texas 4‐H Congress must submit a COMPLETE bill for consideration. “All” in-cludes Texas 4‐H Council and Technology Ambassadors. To accomplish the writing and submission of legislative bills, it is recommended that the County Extension Agent, or a volunteer, assist the youth in learning what a quality bill includes, how to write one, and then submitting the bill on‐line. Refer to the Texas 4‐H publication entitled “Understanding the Texas Legislative Process, A Guide for Participating in Texas 4‐H Congress.” This publication is located on the Tex-as 4‐H website. 4‐H members from the same county, or other counties, are not allowed to submit the same bill for meeting this requirement. BILLS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY MAY 29.
