This is a ceremonial recognition honoring two high school students—Madisen Younie and Brody Tynan—as the 2025 Girls State and Boys State Governors. The resolution also thanks the South Dakota American Legion and Auxiliary for running these youth civics programs for over eighty years. This commemoration doesn't change any state law; it's simply an official acknowledgment of the students' leadership and the organizations' contributions to youth education.
AI-generated summary
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment added numerous co-sponsors (10 additional senators and 13 additional representatives) to the bill and corrected the designation of which governor leads which program—changing Madisen Younie to Girls State Governor and Brody Tynan to Boys State Governor. This broadens the bill's support across the legislature while fixing what appears to have been a labeling error in the introduced version.
