Legislative Advocacy

Make Your Voice Heard!

Personal testimony and public comment are CRUCIAL to getting important bills passed.  MCPA works closely with legislators and other actors to get helpful legislation introduced.  When the bills are being heard by the legislature, the public has the opportunity to share testimony and voice their support/opposition of bills.  There are opportunities to testify in person, virtually, and by submitting a statement.  Make a difference!

The Children and Families Interim Committee is a joint bipartisan committee of the Legislature that meets between legislative sessions to monitor the Department of Public Health and Human Services; conduct interim studies; and generally review issues related to health and human services.
