Legislative schedule - week starting 6/5/2022




On the surface, not much is scheduled to happen at the legislature.


Of course, legislative leadership could hand the membership a package of budget bills at any time.


Of course2, certain members could while away the time watching another movie out of the Riefenstahl oeuvre.


Other than the respective chambers' Rule Committees, only one committee is scheduled to meet this week.

Senate Health and Human Services meets at 9 a.m. on Thursday, 6/9/2022 in SHR1 to consider some executive nominations.


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.
