House and Senate Committee Agendas

Dear Friends,

Please, if you are interested in legislation being considered at the Capitol, click on this link: www.azleg.gov/StandingCom.asp

The link leads you to a page on the AZ Legislative Website, www.azleg.gov that allows you to view all committee meetings being held in the upcoming week, including date, time, & location.

There is a list of all standing committees in the House & Senate & you can view the agenda of each committee. For example, if you are interested in Water-related legislation, click on the Water & Agriculture committee (a House committee of which I am a member). This will lead you to a page containing upcoming agendas for the meeting & what bills are to be considered. Committee members are listed along with their email address in case you would like to write them regarding a bill. You can also find out who is sponsoring the bill, read the minutes for past committee meetings, or even view the committee meeting live via the internet.

If there is a bill that sparks your interest, note the bill number. On almost every page of the legislative website, in the upper right corner there is a box that allows you to plug in the number to take you to a page with that bill information. On this page, you can read the bill as it is written or you can read the bill summary. You can see the bill's sponsors & view any proposed amendments.

If all this is a bit much & you need assistance, please call my competent assistant, Christina Miller & she can walk you through the process. Do not ever hesitate to call or write with concerns, complaints, & questions.
