Subject: Update on AB468 Hearing tomorrow

 

Hello Shannon and Tina,

 

As you know, the Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled to hear AB468 this
Tuesday 7/13 at 1:30. We are 19th in the line-up so it may be a long day.
The Board of Behavioral Sciences in Consumer Affairs is opposing the bill. 

 

Supporters can listen in and give testimony sat the following phone number.
Please spread the word.

 

877-336-4437, Access Code is: 8268428

Please note: In order for your testimony to be heard clearly, you must mute
any devices you are using to live stream the committee hearing prior to
calling into the teleconference service. Please do not testify using
speakerphone or bluetooth, this can cause acoustic feedback and make it very
difficult to hear your testimony. 


.    Upon calling in, you will be placed in a "waiting room" where you will
be muted but you can listen to the committee hearing as you wait.
.    When a committee moves to public comment, a moderator will ask for
anyone who is wishing to testify in "Support" of the bill to please press
1-0.  The moderator will again prompt those waiting in "Opposition" when the
committee moves to opposition.  You should press 1-0 when you are prompted
by the moderator - be sure to listen for support or opposition and DO NOT
press 1-0 until the proper position has been asked for. 
.    When you press 1-0 on your phone, you will wait and an operator will
assign you a line number, at that time you will be placed in the queue for
identification.  Remember your line number, the moderator will call out that
number to identify YOU when it is your turn to testify.  OF IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you press 1-0 a second time, you will remove yourself from the queue and
you will not be identified to testify. Every time you press 1-0 you either
put yourself "In queue" or take yourself "Out of queue" so listen carefully,
and press 1-0 only once when you are prompted by the moderator.
.    When you are successfully in the queue, with your assigned line number,
the moderator will call out your line number, open your line, and at that
time you may address the committee. You must have your own phone unmuted
before you begin testimony.
