Regarding tricks to raise dead bills. I have never witnessed a withdrawal petition in my 18+ years with apologies to term limits. However, another more common method is to amend a dead bill onto another bill that made it over to the other chamber. The only limiting factors are bill sponsor consent, committee chair consent, and the resurrectee must be germane to the accepting bill.
No. A strike everything is an amendment that first erases everything on another bill and then inserts the language of the new or resurrected bill.
Amending a dead bill onto an existing bill keeps the existing bill and then adds the new bill's language. However, the dead bill must be germane to the existing bill, which means they must be in the same subject area (transportation, finance, health, etc.)
Thanks, they seem to do that a lot. So many rules seems a little tricky. That’s the game. I do appreciate you explaining. Much better idea of how it works.
I love that you addressed your term limit run around. Of course you’re not the only lawmaker who jumps from the House to the Senate and back again, to avoid term limits. But I think you may have done it more than others. Terms are limited to four in each legislative body. Am I correct that this is your 21st year in the lege?
Aren't school administrators like school newspaper publishers, and shouldn't student journalists experience reality, especially if they want to work for the Washington Post?
I see both sides. Freedom of speech. They do have their own constitutional amendment and there is no age limit on that. Opinion pieces should be stated as such. Schools don’t want to get too political as to piss off parents. Then school boards get involved. Personally, I side with student journalists and their advisors. Hate speech is not free press. That is a lesson to be learned.
See Hoffman snivel...see Hoffman exceed the posted speed limit. See him waste more of our time on his hateful "Bounty Bill". Elect Candy Biggs as our next Governor and this becomes law. We have made real progress and have a long way to go but shizzle like Hoffman make us all look bad.
I’d like Karrin Robson to say which bills she would have signed that Hobbs vetoed. Then we’d have a real comparison of the two. Thanks Jen for the comment.
Here we go again with Jake Hoffman, everyone's favorite state legislator. What kind of a bureaucracy would have to be created to keep track of remittances to foreign countries, gather the fines, and then associate payments (bounties) to law enforcement officers, send the payments out, etc. Mind boggling. To say nothing of providing a monetary incentive for LEO's to neglect their real jobs and hunt down immigrants guilty of nothing more than walking across a line in the desert and daring to dream of a better life. Let the feds go after the criminal immigrants. Leave other folks alone so our roofs get fixed, our tile laid, our landscaping cleaned up and our houses cleaned.
I don't see the upside to not holding short term rentals to many of the standards/taxes to which hotels must comply. Who is their champion each year at the legislature?
I get you think Stephen Richter is an okay guy who at least follows the law, but “out over his skis” is a mild way to categorize that insulting, condescending op-Ed.
Also when someone cites Ronald Reagan, William F Buckley and George Will as his models—those are all bad men, and he’s just another Republican asshole.
So this bounty on the undocumented is it "dead or alive," asking for a friend?

Do any of them have the guts to tell us how much their pensions amount to? Totals, please. Include out of state jobs.

Good one.
And maybe Gov. Hobbs is the chef who picks up some of the remaining turtles to make veto soup. And keeps a few special ones as pets.

The reason we have initiatives is because the R majority lawmakers never address the real issues that Arizonans want and need.
