How to Submit Legislative Testimony

Providing public testimony is one of the most effective ways to educate legislators about the positive or negative impact that proposed legislation might have on the state and its citizens.

Oral Testimony

Speaking in front of legislators at the state Capitol may sound intimidating, but there’s no need to be a professional public speaker to do so. In-person citizen input is an incredibly powerful way to influence potential legislation.

Online Testimony

It’s not always possible to make the trip to Bismarck to provide in-person testimony. Oral testimony using streaming video may be your next best option.

Written Testimony

If public speaking is not your thing, that’s ok. Submitting a written formal statement is also an effective way to influence legislation.
