Democratic State Rep. Quantá Crews.or Democratic State Sen. Priya Sundareshan.
There have been 16 bills introduced in the AZ House and one bill introduced in the AZ Senate; both first bills were introduced by Democratic members. Both were pre-filed on 11/15, but as no time was listed, I cannot determine which of them was first. Both were first in their respective chambers, though.
HB2001, from Crews, is a measure to create a day of racial healing. Pardon my cynicism, but I have to ask - has she seen the characters of the members of the majority party in the legislature?
SB2001, from Sundareshan, is a measure for a continuation of the Arizona State School for the Deaf and Blind. Currently, it is scheduled to end on July 1, 2027; this bill would extend that to July 1, 2033. This one may pass - but don't hold your breath. If anything similar passes, it will be for a shorter term, have poison pill provisions in it, be passed at the last minute, and be sponsored by a Republican
The remainder of the House bills, 15 in all, were pre-filed by Rep. Gail Griffin, and as is typical for her, many look as if they were written by an industry lobbyist.
The others look to be anti-water conservation.
A combination which appears to be in keeping with the Republican priorities of protecting industry profits while sacrificing the best interests of the people they're supposed to represent.
