Research/ Communication Assignment 4: Final Assignment Legislative Testimony
Bill Proposal (30 points) Propose or provide support for a Bill related to public health to a Texas State Legislator for his or her potential sponsorship in the next biennial session. This may be a hypothetical legislator or one who is specifically identified. In either case, in the presentation identify the House or Senate committee on which the Texas legislator sits (or is presumed to sit).
Like all other assignments, this is an individual assignment.
You have a maximum of 15 minutes for your reading your testimony which outlines the provisions and considerations related to your proposal. This assignment represents a substantial portion of your final grade, so it would be wise to think about this assignment and prepare for it well in advance of the end of the semester.
