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.
