TO AUTHORIZE ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE CHAMBER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE MEETINGS OF THE SILVER HAIRED LEGISLATIVE SESSION, LEADERSHIP ARKANSAS, ARKANSAS GIRLS STATE, AND ARKANSAS BOYS STATE.
This House Resolution authorizes the use of the House Chamber for four educational programs: the biennial Silver Haired Legislative Session (for seniors), and the annual Leadership Arkansas, Arkansas Girls State, and Arkansas Boys State programs (for high school students). It grants formal permission for these groups to hold their meetings and mock legislative sessions in the House Chamber at the Capitol during 2025-2026. The resolution does not create new policies or alter laws - it simply facilitates access for these established civic education initiatives.
