Attending committee meetings to voice your opinion on issues before the Legislature is a great way to participate in the process. Below are a few guidelines to follow when attending committee meetings. If you have any questions about these guidelines, please contact the committee staff or read our companion brochure: I’m Going to Appear Before a Legislative Committee, which can be downloaded from the link on the left-hand side of this page. If You Would Like to Attend a Committee MeetingWhen you arrive at the committee meeting room, please sign the official meeting Attendance Sheet indicating your attendance at the committee meeting. You can keep track of the committee’s schedule by reading the notices on the committee room door, by following the daily calendar available outside the Senate Lobby, the House Lobby, or Capitol Rotunda, or by checking the Committee Meeting Schedule on the Wyoming Legislature’s Web site from the link on the left-hand side of this page. If You Want to Give a Handout to the CommitteeIf you would like to provide a handout to a committee, please bring sufficient paper copies to the meeting for all members of the committee and provide one copy of the handout and this completed form to committee staff. Please note, copies of the handouts are available to the public upon request. If possible, we would like an electronic copy of the handout before the meeting. Electronic copies of the form can be downloaded in either Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Word from the links on the left-hand side of this page. Please save this form on your computer and complete the fields below (use the “tab”key to move through the Microsoft Word version of the form). Once completed, please e-mail this form and your handout to legdocs@state.wy.us at least one day before the committee meeting. In the subject line of the e-mail, please include the committee name and meeting date (e.g. House Judiciary Committee, 2/11/2010). If you have any questions about this form or committee handouts, please call the Legislative Service Office at (307) 777-7881. If You Would Like to Address the CommitteeIndividuals who wish to address the committee will be recognized and called on by the Chairman to speak. After the Chairman has recognized you, please stand and address the Chairman (i.e. “Mr. Chairman”). Then, clearly state your name and the name of the organization you represent prior to addressing the committee. All comments, questions, and responses must flow through the Chairman by addressing the Chairman each time you wish to speak. This procedure ensures an orderly flow of discussion during the committee meeting.
