On Wednesday, May 17, the commission will hold their next public hearing in Tampa at the Dale Mabry campus of Hillsborough Community College, 4001 W. Tampa Bay Blvd., DSTU Auditorium Room 111, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Earlier in the day, the public is welcome to attend a rules workshop hosted at the same location from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
