I'm find it hard to hear and understand the female who is speaking. Perhaps could folks be mindful of talking more slowly and not talking over each other?

She'll move closer to the phone. Thank you!

I just want to make sure I understand the process and the difference between a "reading" and a "hearing"-- so there's a 1st reading in a committee, debate, and then a hearing at which point the bill is voted on. If the bill passes the hearing there is a 2nd reading on the Chamber floor, debate, and then a 3rd reading at which point a vote is taken-- Is that the general process?

And if you have questions, please send them now!

I tried to log on to file a witness slip (I have filed witness slips before so I am registered) and I did log in, but it seemed to say no hearings, therefore no witness slips. Is that right or did I just go to the wrong place?

What are the guidelines for whether a group should register as a lobbyist or not?

If you file a witness slip for a hearing, but the hearing then gets cancelled, what happens to the witness slip? Do you need to re-file a new witness slip once the hearing is re-scheduled?

Thank you! This was helpful.

Thank you for your participation and questions!
