Update to the legislative schedule - the budget train's-a-comin...with a poison pill

The budget bills have dropped, and they're scheduled to be considered by the respective chambers' Appropriations committees.





























Senate Appropriations meets at 9 a.m. in SHR109.  17 bills on the agenda, 16 of them are the Senate version of the budget bills, which I'll leave to experts to examine.  The seventeenth?  SB1736, extending some medical boards and AHCCCS.  There are some curious phrases in the bill that I don't completely understand the effect of.

House Appropriations meets at 1 p.m (the agenda says 2 p.m.) in HHR1.  18 bills on the agenda; 16 are the House versions of the budget bills; the other two are HB2826, the House version of SB1736, and HCR2050, a bill to allow school districts to exceed the Aggregate Expenditure Limit in FY2024.  The way that the bill is written, it would need a 2/3 vote of approval from each chamber of the legislature.
