Senator Russell Ruderman (District 2 - Puna and Kau) invites the public to attend legislative workshops being held on the Big Island to learn about the legislature, how to get involved in the legislative process and how state laws get passed. The workshops are being held by the Hawaii State Legislature's Public Access Room (PAR), a division of the Hawaii State Legislature's non-partisan Legislative Reference Bureau.
PAR will be holding a series of free workshops on the Big Island next week. Senator Ruderman will be attending the Monday, December 10th workshop being held at the Mountain View Public Library, which begins at 6 p.m.
"I encourage everyone to learn about the legislative process and get involved by getting their voices heard," said Senator Ruderman. "The workshops provide the perfect opportunity for citizens to learn, among many things, how to navigate around the legislative website and track bills that pique their interest."
