If you have a position letter on any bills that have been referred to our committee, please submit them through the Advocates Portal, mail them to our address, or email our committee email as soon as possible. All letters are added to the official bill record and may be included in future analysis. Position letter deadlines only refer to making it into the analysis, but the committee always accepts letters for bills we have already heard or have yet to.
Please refer to the "Position Letters" tab for more information.
