The Washington State Legislative Youth Advisory Council (LYAC) is a twenty-two member council created in July 2005 with the purpose of advising the Washington State Legislature on issues related to the youth of Washington. Students ages 14–18 apply to LYAC during the summer, and are then selected by a council committee and appointed by Washington's Lt. Governor Brad Owen. Each term lasts two years, and members may be reappointed for subsequent two year terms if they remain eligible. Most years, 11 positions will open up, as half of the council will no longer be eligible. == Duties of the Council == SB 5254, enacted by the legislature in 2005, outlines the council’s duties as follows: a) Advising the Legislature on proposed and pending legislation, including state budget expenditures and policy matters relating to youth; b) Advising the standing committees of the Legislature and study commissions, committees and task forces regarding issues relating to youth; c) Conducting periodic seminars for its members regarding leadership, government, and the Legislature; and d) Reporting annually by December 1 to the Legislature on its activities, including proposed legislation that implements recommendations of the council. This council may hold meetings between three to six times a year, and hold up to two public meetings per year.〔(Lt.
