Rep. Riccelli teams up with Sen. Habib on remote testimony bill

Rep. Riccelli in committeeRep. Marcus Riccelli announced Friday that he has introduced House 1388, the companion legislation to Sen. Cyrus Habib’s ‘Legislative YouTube’ testimony bill in an effort to increase citizen participation in the testimony process without having to travel to Olympia.

“Eastern Washington residents face a tough hurdle in having their voices heard in Olympia and for most, getting across the Cascades just isn’t an option,” said Riccelli. “With rapidly evolving technology, we can ensure robust participation in our legislative process everywhere in our state. I look forward to this becoming a reality for the people I represent.”
