The Request to Speak system is an online tool that lets you give legislators your feedback on bills. You can use the system to show that you support or oppose a bill and provide the reason why. You do not have to speak as the name implies. It is one of the easiest ways to share your opinions directly with legislators, all from the comfort of your home or office! This is very effective and can give more influence when in the minority.
The Request To Speak program (RTS) is designed to allow the public to register an opinion on bills listed on agendas and to request to speak on a bill in a committee. It replaces the old slips of paper previously used to sign in and let the committee chairperson know you want to speak to the committee. Under the old paper system, you could only sign in to speak or register an opinion if you were physically at the capitol. After the initial setup, at a kiosk, the RTS program allows you to participate from your home or office.
When the committee is in session, the committee members, and the public, will see a list of names of people who have registered an opinion, if the person wishes to speak or not, who the person is representing, and comments the person may leave in the comment box. This information is also available if a person searches past committee agendas.
Legislators will see your bill position throughout the process.
