Support or Oppose a Bill Online
When a bill goes before a NH House or NH Senate Committee, the public has an opportunity to express their support or opposition. This can be done online or by testifying in person.

When submitting online testimony, the form accepts input through the end of the day of each bill’s public hearing. Input must be submitted online by 11:59 PM on the day of the bill’s hearing, although it is recommended to submit the day before as a bill can now move on to the Executive Committee stage with very short notice, including the same day as the Public Hearing.
