Establish the Statewide Youth Council in the Governor’s Office

SB 333 establishes a Statewide Youth Council within the Governor’s Office, composed of 20 Ohio students aged 14-18 currently enrolled in Ohio schools. The council advises the governor and state legislature on youth-related issues and submits annual policy recommendations by March 1st. Members are appointed by the governor (10 for one year, 10 for two years) from public applications, with vacancies filled by the governor from recent applicants. The council meets monthly, operates without paid staff (though expenses may be reimbursed), and focuses on shaping policies affecting young people in Ohio.
