Legislative schedule - week starting 4/21/2024

This week's post a literal copy-and-paste of last week's...other than pic showing the lege schedule.  This past week, they met and did nothing.

The copied stuff will be italicized.

Nada,  As in no committee or floor activity is yet scheduled...though they will reconvene midweek and pass something to overturn the pre-statehood anti-abortion law that was recently upheld by the AZ Supreme Court...passing something with so many poison pills that it will never be supported by any free-thinking person.

Or else they'll do nothing and adjourn.  Again.




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.
