UPDATED Legislative schedule - week starting 5/5/2024

There's some activity on the schedule this week.  It seems to be of the "hatred of the other" genus.

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, generally at 1 p.m. and the Senate's in Senate Caucus Room 1, generally 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, 5/6 and Tuesday, 5/7 - Nada.  As in nothing on the schedule at this point.

On Wednesday, 5/8 -

Senate Military Affairs, Public Safety and Border Security meets at 1 p.m. in SHR2.  One item on the agenda:  a proposed striker to HCR2060.  The text of the proposed striker isn't available as of this writing, but given the name of it (which is on the agenda), "border security", it's almost certainly going to be a hate-fest Republican propaganda intended to bypass Governor Hobbs' veto.

There will almost certainly be floor sessions in both chambers as the majority in the lege seeks to continue the session without doing anything.

On Thursday, 5/9 - More nada on the schedule.

[edit on 5/7 to add]

The committee meeting has been moved to SHR1.  The text of the striker is now available.  It should be named "The Attorney Full Employment Act." 

Also, there will be a joint meeting of Senate MAPS and House Judiciary at 1 p.m. in SHR1.  The agenda states that they will be discussing the striker, but I expect that the reality is that any Republican members will simply give a xenophobic campaign speech.
