Testimony is limited to matters related to the bills!
After the Joint Committee on Judiciary is done reviewing this bill and has heard from the public, it will then go to the House and Senate for review.
It is important that we all focus on the specific language and suggest any changes based on those changes.
It is extremely important that you and your families, extended family, and friends come to speak out on March 31, 2014 - if only to say that you are watching and aware of the legislation and support much needed changes. Your friends and family need not say much - but their support is HUGE!
