ORAL TESTIMONY WILL BE BY INVITATION ONLY

There have been a series of concerns raised regarding the operations and management policies of ORDA and PASNY. One area of interest will be compliance with last year's chapter on public authorities reform and any need for additional legislation. Additional matters to be considered include: an examination of documents and materials provided by ORDA to the Committees; an examination of materials sought by the Committees from the authorities; and, an examination of such other matters and documents as may be required.

Persons invited to present pertinent testimony to the Committees at the above hearing should complete and return the reply form as soon as possible. It is important that the reply form be fully completed and returned so that persons may be notified in the event of emergency postponement or cancellation.

Oral testimony will be limited to 10 minutes. Ten copies of any prepared testimony should be submitted at the hearing registration desk. The Committees would appreciate advance receipt of prepared statements.

In order to meet the needs of those who may have a disability, the Assembly, in accordance with its policy of non-discrimination on the basis of disability, as well as the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), has made its facilities and services available to all individuals with disabilities.
