Legislative overviewToday is the 82nd day of the first regular session of Arizona's 50th Legislature. During the past week, the only legislative committees to hear bills were the Committees on Rules and Appropriations. Otherwise, legislative activity was confined to the floors of the two chambers.During the past week, Governor Brewer brandished her veto pen for the first times this year. She first rejected HB 2757 (billboards; changing message; authorization), which would have legalized electronic billboards along state highways. On Thursday, March 29, HB 2362 (state parks revenue fund) became the subject of the Governor's second veto of the year (see story below). Conference committees are poised to begin meeting to reconcile differences between House and Senate versions of various bills that have passed both chambers in different forms. The deadline for conference committees to meet is Friday, April 13, four days before the 100-day session deadline established by rule. |
