| The purpose of this page is to help you lobby your state legislator when it matters most. That is when a bill you are interested in is voted on during committee hearings. State legislators are members of committees that review proposed legislation before it is considered on the floor of the House or Senate. Our goal is to alert you to these opportunities before your legislator votes, so you can express your views to your legislator in time to make a difference. You can see a list of committees here. Our recommendations to support or oppose bills come from Principles of Liberty, a 501(c3) that closely aligns with libertarian values. | ||||||||||||
| Here’s how to lobby. This page will be updated before Monday noon when the legislature is in session. | ||||||||||||
| 1. Find your State Senator and State Representative. Enter your address in the upper left-hand corner of the map. 2. Find your Senate or House District in the bills being heard this week below. Your Senator or House district may appear more than once, in which case you may lobby on more than one bill. If it does not appear in the bills being heard this week, your senator or representative is not voting on a bill important to us. You may use CTRL-F to find your district. Use the form SDxx or SHxx. 3. Read the commentary about the bill. (Click on Bill and Title) 4. Send your State legislator an email using the appropriate link BEFORE the hearing date. 5. Thank you for helping. |
