"The significance of public hearings is paramount to the legislative process and this new schedule of these public hearings will acquire more input to the process," the release went on to say.

Anyone interested in testifying should contact Cheryl Hydman at 693-3536. All those who have already placed their name on the list need not do so again, the release said.
