There's a new system for leaving messages to legislators this year that does require you to create an account. You'll need to go to legmt.gov/participate.


Be sure to enter in your email address and press verify to get a confirmation code. Note: you will not be able to proceed forward in the form if you do not complete this first step.


✅ Sign-Up to testify


To testify virtually, go to legmt.gov/participate. Like submitting a public comment, you will need to create an account first and verify your email.


You will be able to sign up to testify two hours before the hearing.


In your testimony, be sure to say, "Chair and members of the committee, my name is [insert full name and spell out your last name] and I live in [insert place in MT]. I'm here to SUPPORT / OPPOSE [HB/SB #] for [insert your reason]. Close by saying: [Thank you for your time and please vote YES/ NO on this bill.]
