From cats to kangaroos, a closer look at the bills being considered by the Arizona Legislature

Arizona lawmakers continue working their way through bills that’ve been introduced. And, even though deadlines have passed in both the House and Senate to bring forward proposals, more are still likely to come.

Among the bills in front of legislators are those you’d expect, on education, health and social issues.

But there are also some you might not expect, for example: a measure that’d prohibit the declawing of cats; a bill that would require the state’s Medicaid program to cover medical marijuana; and a measure that’d make it illegal to buy or sell any part of a dead kangaroo.

The Show spoke with Kevin DeMenna of DeMenna Public Affairs about the myriad bills introduced so far this year.
