Today (Friday, 6/14), the Arizona Legislature is scheduled to do something they should have done months ago - consider a budget for the state. There is some doubt whether they can pass one - some of the R members won't vote for it and the D members aren't coming to the aid of the R majority.
As of this writing, both chambers are "on break."
My guess is that the leadership of both chambers is trying to whip votes right now.
If they're able to pass one, they'll adjourn; if not, there's nothing scheduled for next 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, 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.
