Registration is not required to submit a witness slip.
However, to keep an online log of the witness slips you've submitted, you must register from the home page by clicking on "My Legislation."
The "My Legislation" tab is along the top or on the left side under Reports and Inquiry -- just above GA Dashboard.
Registration will also automatically populate many of the fields on each witness slip you submit.
THANK YOU to everyone who filed a witness slip before the Education Committee hearing last week. All new witness slips must be filed before they meet again on Tuesday.
Your help is needed before Tuesday, May 12th at 1pm when HB 4025, legislation to require a high school civics course in Illinois, goes before the Senate Education Committee for the second time.
