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, generally at 1 p.m. and the Senate's in Senate Caucus Room 1, generally 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.

House Judiciary meets at 9 a.m.in HHR4. On the agenda: six bills.
Senate Government meets at 9 a.m. in SHR1. On the agenda: 14 bills; at least half of the agenda is propaganda of the anti-Maricopa County, ant-UN, anti-affirmative action, anti-federal government variety...actually, anti any level of government other than the state legislature and pro-hatred.
House Government meets at 10 a.m. in HHR3. On the agenda: seven bills. Two or which are pure propaganda and five of which (including the two) are simply bad government.
House Ways & Means meets at 10 a.m.in HHR1. On the agenda: three bills.

Senate Natural Resources, Energy and Water meets at 9 a.m. in SHR2. On the agenda: 21 bills, including HB2628, working title "department of environmental quality; omnibus". Omnibus bills always worry me, and this one seems sneaky bad. There are a few clauses that appear to be worrisome, like the one that repeals section 49-257 of AZ law, which concerns the applicability of federal definitions regarding the underground injection control program in the safe water drinking act.
On Friday, 3/15

Novel Coronavirus Southwestern Intergovernmental Committee meets at 10 a.m. in SHR1. On the agenda: no bills, but there will be much propaganda spewed here. The committee membership includes Congresscritters Eli Crane and Paul Gosar, AZ state legislators Sens. Janae Shamp, TJ Shope, and Rep. Steve Montenegro, and Peter McCullough, a cardiologist who's a noted trafficker in Covid lies. And if that rogues' gallery isn't convincing of the propagandistic purpose of this misuse of public facilities and funds, the chosen acronym for this committee (NCSWIC) is a QAnon invention.
