Thanks to the four hearty souls who managed to hold out until it was our turn to talk at the hearing! By the time we were finished with testimony, it was 8:30pm!
If you were one of the other people who had to leave, you can email the committee with a written testimony and it will be considered. You should reference H5865 in the subject and body of the email and explicitly state that you support passage of the bill. We would encourage you to do this ASAP, as it’s not clear when they will be discussing the legislation in the committee.
We still have a senate hearing coming up and will let everyone know once we have information on the date and time.
