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.
Reference Committee Online Testimony Site (Typed Testimony or Video/Audio Upload)
The Reference Committee Online Testimony Site opens November 16 immediately following the HOD First Session through November 20, 10:00 a.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.
