This is shaping up to be another (relatively) quiet week at the state legislature, though I expect the Rs in the lege to schedule more propaganda sessions. Plus there some floor action is on tap where some very bad bills will be passed by one chamber and sent over to the other chamber.
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 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 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, February 27
-
House Military Affairs & Public Safety meets at 11 a.m. in HHR1. No bills on the agenda, just a propaganda presentation titled "Discussion with Law Enforcement on the Crisis at the Border".
That's it.
No other committees are on the schedule, as of this writing. Both chambers' Rules committees will be meeting on Monday, but as those committees serve only as rubberstamps/gatekeepers for bills considered by other committees, I won't write about them here.
