So far, Republicans in the Arizona Legislature don’t appear ready to test Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs' threat to veto any bill sent to her desk.
Hobbs’s threat last week came with a demand – for GOP leaders to send her a bipartisan solution for funding to provide care for Arizonans with developmental disabilities, before funding for those programs runs out in May.
House Minority Leader Oscar De Los Santos (D-Laveen) said Republican leadership, which sets the Legislature’s agenda, didn’t explain why they left this week's calendar light on votes and hearings, but he assumes the governor’s bill signing moratorium is a factor.
In a statement, Senate President Warren Petersen (R-Gilbert) pointed to more than a dozen bills on an upcoming Senate agenda.
But even if approved, those bills won’t immediately be sent to Hobbs’ desk.
