SB 426 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in organization of departmental administrative boards and commissions and of advisory boards and commissions, establishing the Legislative Youth Advisory Council and providing for duties of the Legislative Youth Advisory Council.

SB 426 establishes the Legislative Youth Advisory Council within Pennsylvania's Administrative Code, creating a 50-member advisory body composed of youth aged 14-18 (one from each senatorial district) to address youth-focused issues like education, health, employment, and policy. The council will advise the General Assembly on legislation and budget matters related to youth, hold at least three meetings annually, and submit annual reports starting in 2026. Members serve two-year terms and may apply for reappointment, with the Lieutenant Governor overseeing appointments and providing administrative support. The bill does not change substantive laws but creates a formal structure for youth input into state government processes.
