Annual Trip to the State Capitol

Annual Trip to the State Capitol

The Ivins Youth Council attended the opening of the 2024 State Legislative session. This two-day event at the State Capitol started with a discussion with Senator Don Ipson at the Capitol, a tour of the Capitol, Supreme Court, and Senate, and dinner with the State House Representative for Ivins, Neil Walter, where Youth Council members talked with Representative Walter for almost two hours.

The next day included a chance to meet youth council members from around the state and participate in a mock committee session and come up with reasons for supporting or objecting to a proposed bill. Ivins Youth Council Mayor, Summer Terry, spoke against the proposed bill. The final outcome: the bill was rejected. Way to go Summer!
