All hearing are open to the public. Times and locations may change. (Note: Legislators sometimes "reschedule" their hearings, even moreso when the public is coming to hearings and applying heat. In such cases, you may want to check the committee's website before you leave home for their most recent schedule changes. If the situation is especially heated, then you may want to call MrEdCo's legislative hotline for our latest info from our monitors calling in from the Capitol. This may save you a trip.)
