Begins April 22

New method for submitting testimony to Maine’s Legislature

Tue, 04/16/2019 - 1:30pm

    Beginning April 22, 2019 the Maine Legislature will no longer accept testimony through e-mail. Instead, a new submission form will be available 24/7 through the Maine Legislature’s website.

    This system will automate the distribution of electronic testimony to the committee members, analyst and clerk. Testimony will continue to be included in the public record for committee meetings.

    ·         If you are planning to attend the hearing and provide paper copies, do not submit your testimony electronically.

    ·         Testimony submitted online the day of the public hearing will be posted to the internet. Do not include personal information that you do not want made public.

    ·         Materials subject to copyright protections will be removed before posting to the website, but they will be included in the record and the email forwarded to committee members.

    ·         Testimony emailed directly to the committee clerk will not be included in the public record, forwarded to the committee members or posted to the web page.

    Links to the new submission form will be available on both the home page and committee pages beginning Monday, April 22, 2019
