| 10 | | Sec. 2. Declaration of Intent. The General Assembly finds | 11 | | that the
level of unemployment among veterans, the youths of | 12 | | this State, particularly those
age 14 16 through 18, and young | 13 | | adults, age 18 through 25, is unsatisfactory.
This situation is | 14 | | not conducive to
the development
of veterans and the youth and | 15 | | young adults of Illinois as the future of the State. The
| 16 | | General Assembly further finds
that the availability of | 17 | | conservation and recreational programs for veterans, youth , | 18 | | and young adults in parks and
recreational facilities and other | 19 | | lands operated
by the State, by units of local government, and | 20 | | by other local
not-for-profit entities is severely limited ,
| 21 | | decreasing the variety of constructive activities available to | 22 | | the children of
this State during those months when they are | 23 | | not in school . The
General Assembly therefore creates the | 24 | | Illinois Veteran, Youth , and Young Adult Conservation Jobs |
| | | HB4586 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB097 14779 CEL 59804 b |

of conservation, rehabilitation, | 6 | | protection and enhancement of the State's public land
and (b) | 7 | | the Illinois Veteran Recreation Corps and the Illinois Youth | 8 | | Recreation Corps to provide temporary
