Step 3 (committee hearing public comment) identified + specific child-participation action (written public comment, testimony, attendance)
Hints
- Look at the sidebar on MG-12 about 9-year-old participation.
- Public comment can be written - children can submit.
Misconceptions to watch
- Missing step 3
- Treating participation as 'just adults'
- Failing to name a specific action
