NOTES:
-
"Testify" is not as
scary as it may sound. We citizens merely show up at the hearing
and sign off a card to say we want to speak for 2 to 5 minutes to the Committee
of 12 to 15 representatives. The postcards are collected and the
Chair calls up speakers one at a time, usually alternating between those who
favor the bill and those who oppose it. On important bills like abortion,
there may be a wait of up to an hour before you are called on to speak.
Oftentimes you can learn much from those who testify before/after your turn.
Each speaker who testifies can read their message, merely hand in copies of
their message/letter, or speak with or without notes. You can bring
copies of articles or exhibits as you see fit. After your 2 to 5 minute
talk, the Committee members are entitled to ask you questions, but generally
they do not ask questions. Then you may sit down again or just leave the
hearing.
-
"LOB" is the Legislative
Office Building, 33 North State Street, about a block away from the gold-domed
State House in Concord.
-
"LSR" means it is
not yet an official bill yet, but is in the formal planning stages.
