Next week should be very interesting - the deadline for most committees to consider bills is next Friday. There are ways around that, though. As such, no measure is completely dead while the legislature is in session. Expect many long agendas next week and/or committees meeting more than once.
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.

Permits members of the Legislature to direct the Attorney General to render an opinion on the constitutionality of a federal Act."
Apparently, the sponsor (Rep. Rachel Jones) thinks the feds, and Governor Hobbs, need a hearty laugh.
