As the spring legislative session begins, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie is urging constituents to remain involved in the legislative process. A practical method for engagement is through filing a witness slip on legislation.

Witness slips play an important role in the legislative procedure. Before a bill is discussed in committee, the chairperson reviews who has submitted witness slips and their stance on the bill—whether they support or oppose it. This process provides lawmakers with insight into public and organizational opinions, potentially influencing their voting decisions.

To assist those unfamiliar with the process, a “Frequently Asked Questions” document is available for further guidance.
