The budget has been signed and since the lege has a light week scheduled, I expect the denizens of the Capitol to engage in what has become something of a tradition there - the late night/all night legislative floor session.
Bring your popcorn..and your Pepto. Lots of bad bills will be passed.
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 t.o 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, 5/15
-
House Rules meets at 9 a.m. in HHR4. Three bills on the agenda. Otherwise, all floor sessions on the schedule.
On Tuesday, 5/16
-
Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Committee on Water Security meets at 3 p.m. in HHR1. No bills and two presentations on the agenda.
Nothing else on the schedule for the rest of the week.
