Dear [Chair of the Committee/Committee Member Name]
I hope this email finds you in good health and spirits. I am writing to respectfully request a hearing for House Bills 1751 and 1734. These bills have the potential to make a significant impact on the safe release of Sexually Violent Predators and Less Restrictive Alternatives and I believe it is important for the Committee to consider its implications and gather feedback from all stakeholders.
The purpose of the bill is to ensure public safety is the top priory when making changes to laws that pertain to SVPs. I believe that this bill will bring about positive change for all Washingtonians and I would be honored to have the opportunity to present at the hearing before the Committee.
[INSERT a Paragraph about your personal story and WHY this matters to YOU]
I understand that the Committee has a heavy workload and many important issues to consider, but I believe that this bill is a priority that deserves your attention. I would be grateful for the opportunity if you would consider a hearing on this matter.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
