Legislative schedule - week starting 5/26/2024

This week's post is going to be verrryyyy similar to last week's post.

One Senate committee is scheduled to meet this week to consider some executive nominations, however, I 'm pretty sure there will some floor sessions so the Republicans can speechify over consider their anti-immigrant and anti-voting measures.  The folks at the Arizona Agenda have reported that the AZ House won't meet until 6/4 to consider some Senate amendments to their anti-immigrant screed.

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, 5/27 - Holiday.  Nothing on the schedule.

On Tuesday,, 5/28 - Nada.

On Wednesday, 5/29 -

Senate Education meets at 11 a.m. in SHR1.  On the agenda: no bills, just consideration of two executive nominations - Troy Hoberg to the School Facilities Oversight Board and Mary Kelly to the State Board for Private Postsecondary Education.

On Thursday, 5/30 - Nada.
