Friends and Neighbors,
This week, Monday through Wednesday, is Legislative Days at the Capitol. This is an opportunity for the legislative committees to meet and hear updates to previous legislation or hold hearings on topics that may come forward in the upcoming 2022 Short Session. You can watch committee hearings live on OLIS here. Each day under the "Meetings Today" tab you can find that day's schedule and click on the committee to live stream its meeting. If you are unable to watch live, visit OLIS anytime after the meeting, go to the "Committees" tab in the top right section of the page and find the committee you want to watch back. I am looking forward to attending the committees I serve on:
Below is a detailed list of what all the different committees will be hearing these legislative days.
This summary list was created by Senator Dembrow's office and is being shared with permission.
