This week is going to be a relatively busy one at the Capitol for an intersession week.
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.

House Ad Hoc Study Committee on San Tan Valley Fire Coverage meets at 10 a.m. in HHR1. As San Tan Valley is unincorporated, the is no tax-supported firefighting organization there. The only firefighting coverage there is provided by Rural/Metro, a private, for profit, corporation. The corporation has a representative on the committee who will be presenting to the committee as well.
On Wednesday, 11/8

House Ad Hoc Committee on Abuse and Neglect of Vulnerable Adults meets at 2 p.m. in HHR1. This committee is actually chaired by a Democratic member, Rep. Jennifer Longdon, As such, I expect that any recommendations put forward by this committee to be thoroughly ignored once the full legislature is back in session.
On Thursday, 11/9
-
Joint Legislative Budget Committee meets at 1 p.m. in SHR1. On the agenda: A review of inmate healthcare contract rates at the Department of Corrections. As this committee is chaired by Sen. John Kavanagh, I expect the recommendation here to be "let 'em die...just in way that most profits a corporation."
