To complete your registration as an Ambassador for the 2010 seminar, please visit EACH of the following links:

1.  Ambassador Registration Forms             2.  Online Model Legislature Bill Submission   You are asked to create a bill that you would like to see passed in the "HOBY" PA House of Representatives. Write a short paragraph explaining the details of something you would like to see changed and made into law.  There are numerous categories into which your bill can fall, i.e. Veterans Affairs, Education, Appropriations, Transportation, etc. Some examples of past bill submissions are...  - Mandatory Drug Testing for all High School Athletes (should it be random or required)  - Repealing of the motorcycle helmet law (which has already been passed)  - No Smoking in Public Areas (again already passed)  - Increased public funding for private schools The bills that you and other ambassadors write will be handed out Friday at the Capitol, and you will all be assigned into committees in which you will discuss and revise the written bills (to be more or less restrictive), and then you will debate the bills and vote them yay/nay into 'HOBY' law. 3.  Millersville University - Map & Directions
