Providing testimony at a public hearing

If you are interested in providing oral testimony or submitting written comments at a public hearing, please complete this form no later than 5:00 P.M., two days prior to the scheduled hearing date, with your contact information (name, organization, telephone number, and email address).

You must provide a valid email address so the Department can send you an email confirming receipt of your interest to testify orally at the hearing and provide you with a separate option for a telephone call-in line if you do not have access to a computer that can connect to Microsoft Teams.

It is requested (but not required) that anyone providing oral testimony at the public hearing provide a copy of any prepared text to the Department at the hearing. Please note the Department will take oral testimony at the hearings in chronological order based upon when you registered for the event.
