The Ohio Senate Finance Committee will hold four public hearings on the state budget next week:
You can testify on ANY piece of the budget bill you choose!
And you can choose ANY of the four days to testify.
All hearings will be held at the Ohio Statehouse — in the Finance Hearing Room.
IF YOU’RE TESTIFYING IN-PERSON:
It doesn’t matter which day you plan to testify, ALL in-person testimony must be uploaded to the committee website by this Friday 5/23 at 5:00 pm.
(Click on the date you plan to testify, and upload your testimony to that page)
IF YOU’RE TESTIFYING WRITTEN-ONLY:
Testimony must be uploaded to the committee website at least 24 hours before whichever hearing you choose.
Example: If you’re submitting testimony for the 9:00 am hearing on Wednesday 5/28, your testimony must be uploaded by 9:00 am on Tuesday 5/27
