I admit, I was expecting next week to be very quiet, mostly because of the holiday. As it turns out, I was wrong - there's one intersession meeting on Monday.
It'll be relatively quiet though - the spewing of propaganda/red meat for the Republican base is on tap for the following 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.
On Monday, 11/20

Joint Study Committee on on Statewide Animal Control Standards meets at 1 p.m. in SHR1. On the agenda: a presentation/Q&A session with the executive director of the Arizona State Veterinary Medical Examining Board and a discussion of standards of care in animal shelters
Happy Thanksgiving!
