Welcome to Part 2.
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 Wednesday, 1/31

House Government meets at 9 a.m. in HHR3. On the agenda: 10 bills, including some sneaky bad ones. One that's simply stupid, and not in a sneaky way, is Rep. Justin Wilmeth's HB2477, a proposal to declare Pluto to be the state planet for Arizona.
Ummm...Pluto isn't even classified as a full planet any longer.
House Judiciary meets at 9 a.m. in HHR4. On the agenda: 10 measures, all propaganda.
House Ways & Means meets at 9 a.m. in HHR1. On the agenda: three bills.
Senate Government meets at 9 a.m.in SHR1. On the agenda: four bills, at least three of which are pure talking points. SB1127 would bar municipalities and/or counties from putting a tax or fee on blockchain technology in a residence.
Sponsored by Sen. Wendy Rogers and cosponsored by legislators who are just as extreme as her.
House Appropriations meets at 2 p.m.in HHR1. On the agenda: three bills, including HB2610, a proposal by Rep. Barbara Parker to allow the legislature to put unlimited monies into the state's rainy day fund (currently capped at 10% of the state's general fund revenues).
House Municipal Oversight & Election meets at 2 p.m. in HHR4. On the agenda: eight bills, all propaganda.
House Regulatory Affairs meets at 2 p.m. in HHR5. On the agenda: 11 bills, many pure propaganda. One that seems to be certain to be vetoed if it's approved by the legislature: HB2471, a scheme by Rep. Cory McGarr (and cosponsored by a host of other crazies) to supplant the executive branch by having the lege approve or invalidate all rules crafted by an agency.
House Transportation & Infrastructure meets at 2 p.m. in HHR3. On the agenda: six bills.
Senate Education meets at 2 p.m. in SHR1. On the agenda: two bills.
Senate Military Affairs, Public Safety and Border Security meets at 2 p.m. in SHR2. On the agenda: five bills including SB1123, barring an AZ company or governmental entity from entering into a contract to improve critical infrastructure if the contractor is owned or controlled by a citizen of China, Iran, North Korea, of Russia..
My guess is that the Republicans will kill this one if Vlad tells them to.

Lots of propaganda on the agenda, including SB1145, forbidding the state's bar association and/or supreme court from disciplining or revoking the license of and attorney for "BRINGING A GOOD FAITH, NONFRIVOLOUS CLAIM THAT IS BASED IN LAW AND FACT TO COURT."
This hot mess is sponsored by Sen. Anthony Kern (and cosponsored by other members of the extremist caucus). He is familiar with frivolous lawsuits.
