Legislative schedule - week starting 4/30/2023

This post is early this week because I'll be working on another project.  Plus, the lege has very little on their schedule. :)

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 (that happened last 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, 5/1 and Tuesday, 5/2 -

Nada scheduled.

On Wednesday, 5/3 

-

Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) meets at 1 p.m. in HHR4.  No bills on the agenda; five reviews to be conducted via the consent agenda and no testimony on those items will be accepted; one other review is probably going to devolve into a propaganda-fest for conspiracy theorists.  Its title?  "SECRETARY OF STATE - Review of Election Services Line Item Transfer"

Joint Committee on Capital Review (JCCR) meets at 1:15 p.m. or upon adjournment of JLBC in HHR1.  No bills on the agenda.  Two items to be reviewed; both on the consent agenda with no testimony accepted.

Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Study Committee on Water Security meets at 2 p.m. in HHR4.  No bills on the agenda.  Two presentations.

On Thursday, 5/4 -

Nada scheduled.
