Recent committee hearings

A hearing is where the public speaks on a bill before a committee votes. Anyone can attend, and anyone can testify. Nothing is scheduled right now, so recent hearings are shown.

Times and rooms can change, so confirm against the official notice before you go. Add hearings to your calendar

Going to a hearing

  • Hearings are open to everyone. You can watch without speaking.
  • To speak, fill out a registration slip at the hearing room. You can also register a position without testifying.
  • Can't attend? You can email written comments to the committee's members. Each committee page on the Legislature's site lists them.
  • Rooms like “411 South” are inside the Wisconsin State Capitol, 2 E Main St, Madison.
