If approved, House Enrolled Act 1660 supports students who participate in FFA and 4-H by allowing them to attend events either hosted by or in conjunction with the two organizations and their local clubs.<\/p>\n
“FFA and 4-H are important organizations that help prepare our youth to be successful adults,” Buchanan said. “As someone who has worked with FFA for many years, I have seen firsthand the great work these youth organizations have done in our communities across the state.”<\/p>\n
The bill now heads to the governor’s desk for further consideration.<\/p>\n
