Legislative schedule - week starting 5/21/2023

Perhaps in commemoration of Memorial Day on Monday (OK, who am I trying to kid?  The majority at the lege just doesn't care), but the coming week is shaping up to be a relatively quiet one.


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 5/29 and Tuesday 5/30 -

Nada. 


On Wednesday, 5/31 


-















Senate Committee on Director Nominations meets at 10 a.m. in SHR109.  Up for inquisition this time:  former legislator Martin Quezada, nominee for Registrar of Contractors.


On Thursday, 6/1 - 

Nada.
