Legislative schedule - week starting 10/08/2023

There'll be one (relatively) busy day this week.


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,  10/9, Wednesday, 10/11, and Thursday, 10/12 - Nada.

On Tuesday, 10 10 
















Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) meets at 9:30 a.m. in SHR1.  The agenda includes an executive session (two items; one which will be considered via consent), a consent agenda (where all items on it will be considered en masse with no testimony taken), and a regular agenda (where each item on it is considered individually).

To be considered: items from the AZAG, AZSOS, and the Arizona Department of Corrections.

Much of the stuff on the consent agenda looks to be stuff that shouldn't be all but ignored, while most of the stuff on the regular agenda seems t be an opportunity for inquisition/propaganda.


Joint Committee on Capital Review meets at 9:45 a.m. or upon adjournment of JLBC in SHR1
