Each student has the opportunity to independently and as a group research bills, court cases, and study parliamentary procedure. Students may also sponsor legislation and write their own. During the simulation, delegates attend committee meetings, party caucuses, and legislative sessions to move bills through the legislator and onto the Governor's desk. At the end of the simulation, Veto Session is held where both houses come together to consider overriding the Governor's Veto. Meetings for the Executive Board are held at each members respective college or university throughout the year.
Every delegation also meets to discuss and prepare for the simulation.
MIG is not all work and no play. On Friday night, there is usually a performance by a live act. In the past we have had bands and comedians. Then on Saturday night the Governor's Ball is held. Legislators can be either Republican or Democrat, and in the House or Senate.
