I thought that this post was easy last week when only the Appropriations committees could meet for new consideration of bills (the full chambers and the Rules committees of the respective chambers can still meet, but they can only consider bills that were already heard in committee).
The lege has made this even easier though - the Appropriations committees aren't scheduled to meet this week, though that could change on short notice.
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 spread 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 that replaces the entirety of a bill. Those can be introduced at any time and can make a previously harmless bill into a very bad one.
On Monday, 4/10
-
Senate Transportation and Technology meets at 2 p.m. in SHR2. No bills on the agenda just one presentation. From the agenda - "Project Programming, Greg Byres, Arizona Department of Transportation Deputy Director/State Engineer"
On Tuesday, 4/11 -
Nada scheduled.
On Wednesday, 4/12
-
Senate Education meets at 2 p.m. in SHR1. No bills on the agenda; just two presentations. From the agenda - "K-12 Per Pupil Funding - Joint Legislative Budget Committee Staff" and "FY 2022 School District Spending - Office of the Auditor General."
Guessing that charter schools won't be mentioned, unless the staffers from JLBC and/or OAG wish to confess to having knowledge of a ploy to siphon public monies away from public schools and into private pockets.
Maybe one of the committee's Democrats should read the Miranda Warning to the presenters before they speak.
On Thursday, 4/13 -
Nada scheduled.
