2021 - 2022 Legislation

This page contains CGS Legislation from the August 2021 - July 2022 Academic Year. Legislation for CGS is primarily comprised of 2 different kinds of documents; Acts and Resolutions. Acts are primarily infrastructural documents for CGS, helping to carry out business that keeps the Council running, or that amends how the Council carries out business. Some examples include governing document updates, budget approvals or amendments, and establishing committees. Resolutions are primarily advocacy-based. They help to lay out a problem or issue and its context, and then call for specific action from specific stakeholders and/or state CGS's stanpoint/stance/opinion on an issue. 

If you are looking for specific materials not found here, please reach out to the current vice president and secretary (contact info can be found under About Us, Leadership Team) to be assisted in locating specific materials.
