Legislative schedule - week starting 1/16/2022

A relatively quiet week at the lege as bills are still being read (introduced in each chamber) and assigned to committees.  Things will pick up as the session goes on.

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 propagate 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.
