How to comment on a bill

You’re welcome to share your opinion on bills we’re considering. Learn how to send comments about bills to your legislators.

If you want to contact a legislator

To contact a legislator directly, send them an email instead of a bill comment. You can find your legislator’s email address in our list of legislators.

Creating and sending a comment on a bill

Follow the steps below to look up a bill and send your legislators a comment about it.

Creating and sending a comment on a bill
  • 1. Find a bill

    First, you’ll need to go to the page for the bill you want to comment on. The way to get to a bill’s page depends on whether you know the bill number or not.

    If you know the bill number

    Go to the bills page. Enter the bill number under “Search for a bill or initiative by number," then choose “Search.”

    If you don't know the bill number

    Go to the bills by topic page and use the “Subject” button to view a list of categories. Pick one, then choose “Search.” Choose a bill number listed under that category.

    Accessing bill comments from legislative reports

    You can also access a bill’s page from legislative reports. For example, on the bills by sponsor or bills in and out of committee pages, choose a bill number to go to that bill’s page.

  • 2. Open the comment form

    On the page for the bill, choose the “Comment on this bill” button to the right of the bill number.

  • 3. Verify your district

    In the “Verify your legislative district” section, type your:

    • Street address
    • City
    • Zip code

    Once you’ve entered your address information, choose the “Verify district” button. Your district number will then appear below the button.

  • 4. Enter your contact information

    Provide your:

    • First and last name
    • Email address
    • Phone number

    After entering your email address, enter it a second time in the “Confirm email” field.

  • 5. Choose your position

    Choose a position that matches your opinion on the bill:

    • Support
    • Oppose
    • Neutral
  • 6. Write a comment

    Write a comment about your opinion on the bill. You can’t include files, links, or images with your comment.

  • 7. Submit your comment

    Choose “Submit form” to send your comment. All legislators will be able to read it.

    A confirmation page will appear with the information you entered. Choose “Print this page” to access a printable version.
