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 expanded the bill's sponsorship from two legislators to twelve senators and thirteen representatives, and corrected the designation of which governor leads which program—clarifying that Madisen Younie is the Girls State Governor and Brody Tynan is the Boys State Governor (the introduced version had them reversed). This change does not alter the bill's commemorative purpose but ensures accurate representation.
