Monday, January 24th 3:00pm  

House Appropriations Public Hearing (Remote testimony) 

SHB 1153 – Increasing language access in public schools.  

Tuesday, January 25th 8:00am  

House Education Public Hearing (Remote testimony)

How to Participate in a Committee Hearing 

Testifying in a Virtual Hearing 
During the 2022 Session, you can register to testify in a virtual hearing in a similar manner as you would on campus. The sign-in deadline for virtual testimony is 1 hour prior to the hearing.  
Submitting Written Testimony to a Committee 
If you do not wish to testify in a committee hearing, you can still submit written testimony on a bill for the archived legislative record. Written testimony is accepted until 24 hours after the public hearing. 
Get Your Position on a Bill Noted for Legislative Record 
If you wish, you could choose to have your position noted. The Committee Sign In – Remote Testimony page also allows you to select a chamber, committee, and bill, then indicate you wish to have your position noted for the archived legislative record.
