Current members of the Legislative Youth
Advisory Council (LYAC) in the Senate chamber.
The Legislative
Youth Advisory Council (LYAC) was
established
in July 2005 to examine issues of importance to
youth and advise the Washington State Legislature on
these issues and related legislation.
Final appointments are made by
the Lt. Gov. Owen based on
recommendations and selection criteria developed by
the council itself.
