Very little happened at the state capitol last week. The Senate met each day, but the agendas were super short. The House only gaveled in for two of their four workdays. Word in the street is that this trend will continue while leadership continues to negotiate on the budget (even though there are many bills – good and bad- that remain in limbo).
The Rules Committees in both the House and Senate are both super-anemic, creating a bottleneck for many bills both good and bad. The 3rd Read (floor vote) calendars are so far basically blank for the week. That could change- but so far this looks like it’s going to be a snoozer.
Rather than write up anything new this week, I’ll just refer you back to last week’s update- which still applies because of the lack of action last week. See last week’s summary: Legislative Action Roundup – AZ Public Health Association
