Another week of "silly season" at the legislature.
No regular committees are scheduled to meet, but the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the Joint Committee on Capital Review are both scheduled to meet on Wednesday, April 20, in SHR109.
They're supposed to review a number of items, but as they're in the "minimal effort" portion of the legislative session, that probably won't happen. All of the "reviews" are on the consent agenda.
[Edit on 4/18 to correct]
On Wednesday, 4/20, Senate Health and Human Services meets at 9 a.m. in SHR1 to consider a number of executive nominations.

Note: HHR refers to a hearing room in the House building; SHR refers to one in the Senate building.
Note2: Generally, I'll only specify bills that look to propagate propaganda. Other bills may be more conventionally bad (think: corrupt or other misuses of public monies and/or authority. My recommendation is that if an agenda covers an area of interest to you, read the entire agenda.
Note3: Each chamber's respective Rules Committee meets on Monday, the House's in HHR4 at 1 p.m. and the Senate's in Senate Caucus Room 1, also at 1 p.m. Both committees serve as rubber stamps for bills leadership wants to be advanced and gatekeepers for measures that leadership wants stopped.
Note4: Meeting start times may be listed, but are flexible. Before journeying to the Capitol or viewing the meeting online, verify the start time.
Note5: Watch for strikers, or strike everything amendments. Those involve inserting language into the entirety of a bill. Those can be introduced at any time and can make a previously harmless bill into a very bad one.
