Many bills introduced in the Legislature will receive a public hearing, where citizens are given a chance to present their opinions on proposed legislation. There are three ways to participate in a public committee hearing:

1. Testify in a Committee Hearing
Duri​ng the Legislative Session, you can register to testify in a​ committee hearing in-person or remotely through Zoom. 

If you frequently testify on bills, you may find it useful to create a Legislative Account.​​ An account allows you to autofill sign-in information and view and edit your sign-in history.

2. Submit 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​.

3. Note Your Position on a Bill for Legislative Record
If you wish, you can 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​​.

Reasonable Accommodations
If you require an accommodation to testify before a committee or attend a committee meeting, please refer to options on the Legislature’s Americans with Disabilities Act Information https://leg.wa.gov/legislature/pages/adainfo.aspx page.

Spoken Language Interpretation
If you require spoken language interpretation to testify before a committee or attend a committee meeting, please contact the ADA Coordinator in advance. The more advance notice you are able to provide, the higher likelihood that your request can be fulfilled.
