It is critically important that legislators continue to hear your local stories. If you are looking for additional support to prepare to give testimony:
- Review information on the SAA Website. Testimony from the public hearing will be posted shortly. This site also includes how to submit written testimony. You can submit comments online if you are not attending in-person. If you are going to appear you can bring one printed copy and give that to the legislative staff and they will scan and put that into the record. Please also send a copy of your testimony to your Representative and Senator if they do not serve on the Joint Finance Committee.
