For providers looking to send in written testimony on any Bills before committees this legislative session just a reminder that you can do that easily online.
Maine put a new online system in place in April, 2019 to make it easier to submit written testimony on Public Hearings for Bills. This system provides 24/7 access to an online submission form through the Maine Legislature’s website at https://www.mainelegislature.org/testimony. This system distributes electronic testimony to the committee members, analyst and clerk. Testimony is also included as part of the public record for committee meetings.
Reminder: Do not include personal information that you do not want made public.
How to use this online submission process:
- Access the page to submit testimony online
- Choose the committee
- Choose the date/time of the public hearing
- Check the bill for which you plan to provide testimony from the list provided.
- Cut and paste your testimony or attach a file.
- Supply your name, town/organization, and email address.
If you are planning to provide “live” testimony at the hearing you are able to mark that off as part of this form.
This is what you will see:
