Do not be nervous, or worried about doing something wrong. Legislators are just your friends and neighbors who want to hear what you have to say. Expect some questions and comments from committee members. These questions are not designed to embarrass you, but merely to provide additional information. Avoid any clapping, cheering, booing, or other demonstrations.
Some committees vote right after a hearing.
Others wait until the end of the meeting. Some postpone voting until another meeting. All committee action is public, so you can stay to listen to committee debate and its vote, even though the public comment portion of the hearing is over. One or two days later you can check with the committee clerk, your legislator, or the Legislative Information Kiosk to find out how the committee voted on your bill. You have a right to testify on any bill before a legislative committee.
