The AZ Legislature has taken action on SPI duties, Lawyers Right to Work, Sanctuary Cities, and Municipal Services Cards

Some important bills have seen action this week, including HB2219, SB1017, SB1378, SB1416:

The following bills have been changed substantially from their original form:
HB2088 Via amendments, this bill has suffered a partial testiculectomy, making it not nearly as good as the original
SB1351 The amended Lesko version that came out of COW does the exact opposite of the original bill.

Other significant bills saw action this week as follows:
HB2219 Right to work. This bill would have allowed lawyers to practice without having to join the SBA union. The following Republican representatives joined the Democrats in defeating it: Fann, Townsend, Brophy-McGee, Coleman, Pratt, Robson
SB1017 This bill would have prohibited city services cards to be used as identification, as in voter registration. The following Republican senators joined Democrats in defeating it: Pierce, Yarbrough, Driggs, Worsley.
SB1378 This bill would have prohibited certain money transfers to cities that engage in sanctuary city activity. Republicans voting against were: Pierce, Driggs, Begay, Worsley.
SB1416 This bill covers a lot of issues, but it also transfers most of the power of the duly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction to unelected and unaccountable appointed bureaucrats. The following senators voted in favor of the only elected member of the state school board (voted against bill): Donahe, Farnsworth, Shooter, Burges, Smith.

PLEASE REMEMBER THE ACTIONS OF THESE LEGISLATORS WHEN TIME COMES TO SUPPORT OR OPPOSE THEM DURING THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS.
