To submit testimony in writing or live at a public hearing, go to the testimony portal. To submit written testimony only, upload the document. To testify live, upload your testimony, and check the box that says “I would like to present testimony live.” If you do not have written testimony, just check the box. You will receive a confirmation email with a Zoom link to join at the date and time of the public hearing for the legislation. When it’s your turn to testify, you will be moved into the Zoom room. If you miss the date for the public hearing, but still want to offer testimony, or want to submit your testimony after testifying live, you can still use the portal to submit testimony, which will then be distributed to the members of the committee.
