The Rs in the legislature commemorate the holiday season not by serving up ham and turkey to the hungry, but by acting like hams and turkeys while serving up red meat for the base.
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, 11/27

Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Committee on Freedom of Expression at Arizona's Public Universities meets at 10 a.m. in SHR109. They're scheduled to make some remarks, take testimony from some folks who'll claim to have been harmed by a university for espousing conservative views. And to make some more remarks.
With the R members of being who they are (Kern, Borrelli, Wadsack, Nguyen, etc.), the comments should be colorful.
To say the least.
Joint Study Committee on Statewide Animal Control Standards meets at 1 p.m. in SHR1. I expect this meeting to be less colorful, but as the committee is chaired by John Kavanagh, "colorful" is a threat to happen.
