Get Involved on a Reference Committee!
If you’re interested in serving on a reference committee, please contact houseofdelegates@mms.org. Reference committees are teams of seven delegates that review the
online testimony to help prepare recommendations to the House of Delegates.
Online Reference Committee Testimony Site (Typed Testimony or Video/Audio Upload)
The Online Reference Committee Testimony Site opens November 20 immediately following the HOD First Session through November 28, 6:00 p.m., but static comments will
remain for viewing. Members can testify online. Members can also propose an amendment to the Reference Committees (for the Reference Committees’ consideration) by typing it in a comment.
