It's shaping up to be a relatively busy week at the Capitol as they look to finish up some of their intersession work before the start of the new legislative session. And before they take a break for the holidays.
But not so busy they won't have time to engage in some propaganda-spewing.
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, 12/11
-
Joint Study Committee on Statewide Animal Control Standards meets at 1:30 p.m. in SHR1.
On Tuesday, 12/12
-
House Ad Hoc Committee on Antisemitism in Education meets at 9 a.m. in HHR1. The agenda is sparse (it only has a call to order, public testimony, and an adjournment on it) but this should be colorful. To put it mildly.
Just a guess: State Sens. Justine Wadsack and Wendy Rogers probably won't be there.
House Committee on International Trade meets at 10 a.m. on the House Floor. They're scheduled to receive presentations from a Consul and other luminaries. But none from Mexico, Arizona's largest trading partner.
That wouldn't comport with the Rs' bigoted ideology.
On Wednesday, 12/13 - Nada.
On Thursday, 12/14
-
Joint Legislative Budget Committee meets at 2 p.m. in SHR1. They'll be avoiding the public at this one. There's both an executive session (no public attendees) and a consent agenda (no testimony from the public) on the meeting agenda. Nothing else.
Joint Committee on Capital Review meets at 2:15 p.m. or when the first committee adjourns. Nothing here but a consent agenda.
