HOW TO TESTIFY

The Council invites citizens to testify at public hearings. Council Rules require notification to the public in the DC Register at least 15 days before the hearing. Persons wishing to speak may sign up by calling the appropriate standing committee or 724-8000. Time allocated for each speaker is determined by the Committee chairperson. Organization representatives generally receive 5 minutes, and individuals 3 minutes. Witnesses are asked to bring written copies of testimony so that each Councilmember, Council staff, and the Secretary to the Council can have a copy.

The Council also encourages written testimony. Those wishing to submit written testimony for the record can send it directly to the appropriate committee or to the Secretary to the Council, Suite 5, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20004.
