3How to Testify on a Bill in Person at a Committee Hearing

Sample Testimony - NH Network Members - January 18, 2022

Bonnie Christie spoke about Extended Producer Responsibility and her part starts at about 26:15.  Rep. Parshall Spoke first and then Lee Oxenham, also a bill sponsor, spoke just before her. 

Currently, testimony can only be done in person.  There are ongoing efforts to re-instate the option of online testimony.

4.  How to Email Written Testimony on a Bill to Committee Members

In addition to submitting written testimony online (Section 2), it's useful to also email your message to the Committee members directly.  You can copy/paste the list of email addresses for all the members of a committee from this spreadsheet of legislators (including email addresses) sorted by committee.

Put "Testimony", the Bill Number, a few words about it, and 'oppose' or 'support' in the Subject.  Be respectful, courteous, and concise in your message for the best results.

You can also go directly to the source:  download the Members Roster spreadsheet from the General Court site, open the spreadsheet document, freeze the header row, sort by the committee column, then copy/paste the emails addresses from the email column for a committee.

For Senate committees you can also send email via the committee webpages.  Start at the committee's page:

Senategc.nh.gov/senate/committees/senate_committees.aspx

From there, click on "Email Entire Committee" for the committee of interest.
