Legislative schedule - week starting 5/7/2023 - Break in the budget impasse?

This post is early this week because there may be some action on the budget.

Jerod Macdonald-Evoy of the Arizona Mirror has some details here.

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,  5/8

House Rules meets at 1 p.m. in HHR4.  No bills directly on the agenda, but there is one interesting item there - 

As one can see from the pic above, the lege has floor sessions scheduled for Monday, and may do so for Tuesday.  Right now, both the House and Senate have full Republican caucuses.  They can pass things with only R votes.

Things after that will depend on the status of Sen. Wendy Rogers.  On Wednesday, May 10, there will be a hearing on her restraining order against a reporter investigating Rogers' residency.

I'm guessing that she planned to be a no show at the hearing so she wouldn't have to testify under oath about her residency.  My thinking was "no testimony = no perjury."

Turns out that a petition for a restraining order has to be filed under penalty for perjury.

On Tuesday, 5/9 thru Thursday 5/12 -
