Public Hearings
The Center for People in Need posts information on upcoming public hearings on selected measures. Committees begin holding hearings a few weeks after the January start of a legislative session. Committees have assigned hearing rooms and meeting days, although they sometimes meet at different times and places. Most hearings begin at 1:30 p.m. and committees usually hear several bills during an afternoon. Citizens are encouraged to testify in person; letters or written communications also are accepted by committees during a hearing. For more information on public hearings, click here.
Hearings on bills for the 2010 session are completed. Committee hearings between the 2010 and 2011 sessions are anticipated to begin in August or September 2010.
