How you can participate remotely in the Montana legislative process!
- You may sign up to testify remotely using Zoom up to two (2) hours prior to a meeting’s scheduled start time. Once you successfully submit your information, you will be emailed the Zoom link for participation. That link is specific to you, so please do not share it.
- Through the Legislative Public Participation application you are able to sign up to remotely testify on both bill hearings and in front of committees on topics that are open for public comment.
- This application will also allow you to submit written testimony and comments on a bill, to a committee, or directly to a legislator.
- If participating remotely, rules of decorum must be followed and the Presiding Officer will let you know when they are accepting comments from those on Zoom. Follow the directions provided in your email and raise your hand to let the meeting coordinator know when you want to speak. Please be advised that there may be limits placed on how many people are allowed to testify remotely and what time restrictions are being imposed.
