    |
0015|     
    |
0016|       WHEREAS, increasingly, today's students fail to have any
    |
0017|     understanding of government or the legislative process; and
    |
0018|       WHEREAS, today's students will grow up to be tomorrow's
    |
0019|     adults, adults who may not understand the world in which they
    |
0020|     live or the laws governing that world; and
    |
0021|       WHEREAS, it is imperative to a well-educated society that
    |
0022|     all people understand the role and function of government and
    |
0023|     the importance of the legislative process in a democracy; and
    |
0024|       WHEREAS, the best way to teach students about the
    |
0025|     legislative process may be to allow them to participate in the
    |
0001|     process in a realistic manner;
    |
0002|       NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
    |
0003|     STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the legislative council service
    |
0004|     formulate a plan to conduct a student legislative congress to
    |
0005|     teach students about the legislative process; and
    |
0006|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the legislative council service
    |
0007|     consult with the state department of public education in
    |
0008|     formulating the plan for the student congress and that the
    |
0009|     formulation of the plan be presented to the New Mexico
    |
0010|     legislative council on or before December 1, 1996; and
    |
0011|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be
