BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho legislature offers remote testimony where the community can voice their thoughts on proposed legislation, essentially from anywhere in the state, but the Idaho senate is launching a new testimony system for all wishing to testify.
Whether it's remote, in-person or in writing, there is a new online sign-in system for anyone wishing to testify in senate committee hearings. There will no longer be paper sheets for sign-ups.
With the new online system, you can find a link on the legislature’swebsite at the bottom of the committee agendas. There also will be a QR code that will be posted out of the committee rooms inside the statehouse if you are in person.
The new online system will require the following:
- First and last name.
- Email and physical address
- What organization you are representing if any.
- Whether you are testifying in-person or virtually.
- Whether you are “For” or “Against” the legislation.
The house will still leave the decision of remote testimony up to committee chairs.
