Morano opens public testimony with rules and procedures
Morano opens the floor for public testimony, reminding attendees of formal proceeding rules including silence, no video recording from the witness table, three-minute time limit, and written testimony submission procedures.
All right.
Now we are going to open the hearing for public testimony.
And I'll remind members of the public that this is a formal government proceeding and that
Quorum shall be observed at all times.
As such, members of the public shall remain silent at all times.
And the witness table is reserved for people who wish to testify.
No video recording or photography is allowed from the witness table.
Further, members of the public may not present audio or video recordings as testimony, but may submit transcripts of such recordings to the Sergeant-at-Arms for inclusion in the hearing record.
If you wish to speak at today's hearing and you haven't already done so, please fill out an appearance card, look like this, with the sergeant at arms, and wait to be recognized.
When recognized, you will have three minutes to speak on today's hearing topic, programs and services for LGBTQ plus veterans.
We'll hear all in-person testimony first and then turn to testimony on Zoom.
If you have a...
a written statement or additional written testimony you wish to submit for the record, please provide a copy of that testimony to the Sergeant at Arms, and I can assure you
that not only does the committee staff read all that testimony and review it as we shape future hearing topics and future legislative topics, but I read it all, so feel free to submit it as you like.
