Here you will find information about the Legislative Coalition’s Agenda for the upcoming session, and information about submitting testimony
WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE 2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
House Committees will operate both in person and virtually this year, with bill hearings beginning on the second day of session. We have the option to participate in committee hearings virtually, but we must remain on camera while doing so. Other committee changes are as follows:
- Committees will provide at least 48-hour notice as to which bills will be heard during which time slot on which day via the MGA website.
- Online Testimony Submission: They have designed a system to allow the public to upload written testimony.
- Online Bill File Availability: The testimony file for each bill will be posted on the MGA website after a bill is voted out of the relevant standing committee. Any bill file not up on the website by Sine Die will be publicly released after session.
- Online Sign Up: They have also designed an online testimony sign-up system through the MGA website. Each Committee will provide time slots per bill for the public to sign-up the day before the bill is scheduled to be heard.
- Subcommittee meetings: All subcommittee meetings will be live-streamed through the MGA website.
- Voting Sessions: All voting sessions will be live-streamed through the MGA website.
Additionally, each legislator’s MGA webpage will have a section listing office hours and the best way to contact them (by Zoom, by appointment etc.). Please check the website between now and session for updates to our schedules.
