====Committee Schedules Guide====

**For Each Committee Website**

**Collecting Hearing Statements**
1. Go to the Committee website and click on 'hearings'
2. You will need to check back farther than the last date the schedule was updated because there is lag time between when a hearing is posted and when the transcript is posted.
3. Enter into the appropriate official's admin profile. Note: This may be a Governor, a Senator, a Rep or a Cabinet member. Be sure to check the witness list. We take opening statements as well as testimony. Both are marked as hearings.
