MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS


     SCR 5   Introduced by:  Senator Rounds and Representative Pederson (Gordon)

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION,  Urging the Congress of the United States to pass legislation     reauthorizing the federal highway program by May 1, 1998.

     WHEREAS,  a safe and efficient highway system is essential to the nation's international competitiveness, key to domestic productivity, and vital to our quality of life; and

     WHEREAS,  South Dakota has critical highway investment needs that cannot be addressed with current financial resources. The South Dakota Department of Transportation rates two thousand four hundred nine miles of South Dakota's most important roads in either poor or fair condition and judges one hundred forty-eight of our bridges to be structurally deficient or functionally obsolete; and

     WHEREAS,  the current level of federal funding for the nation's highway system is inadequate to meet rehabilitation needs, to protect the safety of the traveling public, to begin solving congestion and rural access problems, to conduct adequate transportation research, and to keep the United States competitive in a global economy; and

     WHEREAS,  the federal highway program is financed by dedicated user fees collected from motorists to improve the highway system and deposited in the federal Highway Trust Fund. The

Taxpayer Relief Act of 1998 transferred all federal motor fuel taxes into the Highway Trust Fund but provided no mechanism to ensure the funds are spent; and

     WHEREAS,  the 1998 congressional budget would constrain federal highway spending well below the level of highway tax receipts, allowing the Highway Trust Fund's cash balance to grow from just over twenty-two billion dollars today to more than seventy billion dollars by 2003; and

     WHEREAS,  South Dakota and other states will be prohibited from obligating any federal highway funds after April 30, 1998, unless Congress and the President enact new highway legislation by that date; and

     WHEREAS,  without federal highway funds, many states will be forced to delay life-saving safety improvements, congestion relief projects, and other road and bridge improvements:

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,  by the Senate of the Seventy-third Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the House of Representatives concurring therein, the South Dakota Legislature urges the United States Congress to enact legislation reauthorizing the federal highway program by May 1, 1998; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,  that the reauthorization bill shall fund the federal highway program at the highest level that the user-financed Highway Trust Fund will support.

     Was read the first time and referred to the Committee on State Affairs.

     SCR 6   Introduced by:  Senators Kloucek, Albers, Brosz, Dennert, Drake, Dunn (Rebecca), Flowers, Hunhoff, Hutmacher, Lange, Morford, Olson, Reedy, Symens, and Valandra and Representatives Lucas, Chicoine, Haley, Jaspers, Koetzle, and Kooistra

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION,  Endorsing the We the People . . . Project Citizen Program.

     WHEREAS,  the American experiment of representative, self-governing democracy can only function effectively with the consent and participation of an enlightened, competent, and responsible citizenry; and

     WHEREAS,  the various levels of governing--local, state, and federal--must be understood by citizens if they are to communicate their views and ideas to representatives to shape and implement public policy; and

     WHEREAS,  overwhelming evidence exists that citizens have low opinions about the work of state legislatures and have relatively little knowledge about what their representatives do; and

     WHEREAS,  civic education is essential for citizens to develop a common language and understanding of politics and governing; and

     WHEREAS,  civic education is an important tool to develop the habits of civic virtue including civility, individual responsibility, self-discipline, open-mindedness, compromise,

tolerance of others, patience, persistence, compassion, generosity, and loyalty to one's nation and community; and

     WHEREAS,  civic education is most effective when the principles that sustain representative democracy are instilled at an early age; and

     WHEREAS,  We the People . . . Project Citizen civic education program for middle school classes is an effective, successful tool for teaching young citizens how to address state and local community public policy issues by:

             (1)    Identifying a public policy problem in their community;
             (2)    Gathering and evaluating information on the problem;
             (3)    Examining and evaluating solutions;
             (4)    Selecting or developing a proposed public policy; and
             (5)    Developing an action plan; and

     WHEREAS,  classes participating in We the People . . . Project Citizen learn that government and public service cannot just be observed, but must be experienced with hands-on action and communication; and

     WHEREAS,  participation in We the People . . . Project Citizen involves numerous segments of the community in teaching students about the legislative process:

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,  by the Senate of the Seventy-third Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the House of Representatives concurring therein, that it is the sense of the Legislature that We the People . . . Project Citizen is an ideal tool to teach young middle school students about the reality and promise of citizenship in a representative democracy; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,  that it is the sense of the Legislature that We the People . . . Project Citizen is an effective civic education program to which we should devote our attention, support, resources, and continued involvement to ensure its implementation, preservation, and sustained development.
