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.
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 into the entirety of a bill. Those can be introduced at any time and can make a previously harmless bill into a very bad one.
We've entered "hurry up and wait" time at the Arizona State Legislature as the Republican leadership at the lege scurries about, crafting a state budget out of the view of the public and most of the membership of the lege behind closed doors, to be handed down in its entirety for a vote by the lege.
I don't expect that this process will take *too* long, as this is an election year - most politicians would rather be out campaigning than be at the Capitol.
As of right now, no regular committees are scheduled to meet at the lege.
From the lege's official calendar -
The one committee that is scheduled to meet is not a regular one.
On Thursday, 4/7 at 2 p.m., the House Ad Hoc Committee on International Affairs meets in HHR1. No bills on the agenda (there never are for ad hoc committees), just a speaker from the German consulate in Los Angeles.
