Dossett prefiles bill for youth assembly program

State Representative Myron Dossett has pre-filed a bill for next year’s session of the General Assembly that would allow Kentuckians to directly donate a portion of their income tax refund to the YMCA youth assembly program.

The Pembroke Republican says the bill allows anyone who files a tax return to donate to a worthwhile initiative that fosters leadership skills in middle and high school students.

The Youth Assembly is a three-day mock general assembly where those students learn how state government functions.

Dossett also thanked Democratic state Representative Russ Meyer of Nicholasville for his assistance in drafting the bill.
