Same as last week -
Nada. No bills under consideration.
For legislative committee meetings, there's nothing scheduled for this week, though that could change on a moment's notice (so keep an eye out as the lege has been known to get sneaky).
Actually, they don't even have floor sessions on tap for Monday though they may have floor sessions later in the week to consider and pass bills that will be vetoed by Governor Hobbs.
The only thing they have left is the same thing they began the session to do - the state's budget, and that could come down at any time.
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. 4/24

Senate Director Nominations meets at 10 a.m. in SHR109. One nomination scheduled for consideration/inquisition: Ben Henry as director of the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control. Not sure if this is intended as a shot across the bow directed at Governor Hobbs for her vetoing so many bills or a peace offering as part of the negotiations on a budget..
However, considering the history of the committee chair, Jake Hoffman, as an Always Trumper and a fake elector in 2020, the "shot" part wouldn't be a surprise.
Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Committee on Air Quality and Energy meets at 1:30 p.m.in SHR1. No bills on the agenda. Scheduled to receive a presentation from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) on "Ozone Nonattainment Designation for the Maricopa County."
MAG's press release on the topic is here.
I can't say that the House doesn't take air pollution seriously, but they've at once abandoned the committee and desginated as the committee co-chair someone who regularly caters to industrial interests.
On Tuesday, 4/25 and Wednesday, 4/26 -
Nada scheduled.
On Thursday, 4/27
-
Senate Judiciary meets at 9:30 a.m. in SHR1. No bills on the agenda, just consideration of one appointment to one commission, the Commission On Trial Court Appointments, Maricopa County.
