Student Association Legislative Director

The Student Association Legislative Director is the chair of the Legislation Committee, the only standing committee explicitly mentioned in the Student Association Charter. The director is charged with overseeing lobbying trips, all representation that occurs with local, state, and national organizations as well as all representation that occurs with organizations in which Student Association is affiliated.

The committee was previously chaired by the Student Association Parliamentarian. In 2013, a charter amendment established the Legislative Director position.

The Legislation Committee provides SVSU students "with an awareness of local, state, and national political issues and affairs; specifically those issues and affairs which affect or concern them." The by-laws frequently refer to the committee as the "Legislation and External Affairs Committee."
