Hearing Room A

Please make plans to attend this hearing. While we expect that the early start time of this hearing will limit the number of people who are able to attend, if you have the time–and even if you do not plan to speak–your presence is important. There will likely be an additional hearing scheduled for a different committee, but attending the first one and helping to set the tone will go a long way toward keeping these tax bills at bay.



Prior to the hearing, please take action by sending a message to your lawmakers urging them to reject extra taxes on vaping.
