It's a big week at the state Legislature, with an important deadline looming for the hundreds of billslawmakers have introduced.

For both the House and Senate, bills that are going to continue toward becoming laws must get committee approval by Friday. These are some of the most high-profile bills to watch this week:

1. Permanent early voting list

Sponsor: Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale.

Status: Passed Senate, awaiting vote in House Elections Committee, hearing scheduled for Thursday at 2 p.m.

Ugenti-Rita's Senate Bill 1188 would purge from the list voters who did not use their early voting ballot in two consecutive primary and general elections, if the election was for a federal, statewide or legislative office. Voters could still drop off the early voting ballot on election day, but would be purged if they voted in person.

The bill, along with other elections bills from Ugenti-Rita, has faced opposition from Democrats. Only one Senate Republican, Sen. Heather Carter from Cave Creek, voted against the bill.

2. Minimum wage for young people

Sponsor: Travis Grantham, R-GIlbert.

Status: Passed House, awaiting a vote in the Senate Commerce Committee, hearing scheduled for Thursday at 10 a.m.

House Bill 2523 would allow employers to pay less than the state minimum wage and instead pay the federal minimum wage to people younger than 22 who work part time and are students. Those younger workers could face a significant pay difference. State minimum wage is currently set at $11, after a voter initiative to increase wages passed in 2016. It is set to raise to $12 in 2020. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 and has not increased since 2009.

3. Rules for electric scooters

Sponsor: Sen. Tyler Pace, R-Mesa.

Status: Passed unanimously through the Senate, awaiting vote in House Regulatory Affairs Committee, hearing scheduled for Monday at 2 p.m.

Senate Bill 1398 would give electric scooter users the same rights and responsibilities as bicyclists, but would not prohibit local authorities from regulating the machines. The bill had unanimous support on the Senate floor. Cities and towns such as Scottsdale, Tempe and Mesa are neutral on the bill, and electric scooter ride-share companies support the legislation.

4. Tracking murdered or missing indigenous women and girls

Sponsor: Rep. Jennifer Jermaine, D-Chandler.

Status: Passed unanimously through the House, awaiting vote in Senate Health and Human Services Committee, hearing scheduled for Wednesday at 10 a.m.

The Legislature is considering whether to create a task force that would track and follow data about murdered or missing indigenous women, as well as look for ways to reduce violence against them, via House Bill 2570. Its members would be comprised of tribal government members, victim advocates, tribal police, social workers, Indian Health Services leaders and others.

5. Repeal $32 vehicle-registration fee

Sponsor: Ugenti-Rita.

Status: Passed Senate, awaiting vote in House Transportation Committee, hearing scheduled for Wednesday at 2 p.m.

In April of last year the Legislature voted to allow the Arizona Department of Transportation to set the fee, which officials had estimated would be $18. The actual amount was set at $32, however. Senate Bill 1001 would repeal the fee altogether and, if the Arizona Highway Patrol Fund for the year is insufficient, the Legislature would have to appropriate money from the general fund.

6. Reduce the vehicle-registration fee

Sponsor: Noel Campbell, R-Prescott.

Status: Passed House, awaiting vote in the Senate.

Instead of eliminating the fee, House Bill 2320 would limit it to the originally estimated $18.

7. Add lieutenant governor to Arizona

Sponsor: Sen. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler.

Status: Passed through Senate, awaiting a vote in House Government Committee,hearing scheduled for Thursday at 9 a.m.

Although not a bill, Senate Concurrent Resolution 1008 would amend the state Constitution to establish the office of lieutenant governor, a concept voters have rejected twice before.

Mesnard's proposal differs from previous attempts, however, in that voters would elect a governor and lieutenant governor using a process that mirrors the one used in presidential elections, where each party's primary winner chooses a running mate. If the proposal makes it through the House, it will appear on ballots in 2020 and would not take effect until 2027 if approved.

8. Electronic tobacco product sales

Sponsor: Sen. Heather Carter, R-Cave Creek.

Status: Passed unanimously through the Senate, awaiting vote in House Health and Human Services Committee, hearing scheduled for Thursday at 8:30 a.m.

Carter proposed Senate Bill 1009 to align with federal standards to classify e-cigarettes as tobacco products. This would prohibit the sale of such products, including vaping devices, to anyone under the age of 18. Although some opponents of the bill say e-cigarettes and traditional tobacco products should not be conflated, vaping has been deemed unsafe for minors and young adults by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"It's time to dispel the myth that vaping is harmless," Carter said.

9 and 10. Lemonade and nunchucks

Sponsors: Rep. Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert (lemonade), and Sen. David Gowan, R-Sierra Vista (nunchuck repeal).

Statuses: Passed House (lemonade), Passed Senate (nunchucks), awaiting votes in Senate Government and House Judiciary committees, respectively. Hearings are scheduled for Monday at 2 p.m. and Wednesday at 2 p.m., respectively.

While they debate other matters, the Legislature also is considering HB 2692, which would name lemonade as the state drink of Arizona. The bill has gained attention on social media.

And nunchucks could be removed from the list of banned weapons in the state. Gowan, who sponsored SB 1291 has said it is a silly and antiquated law. "In Arizona, (we're) able to carry concealed guns, yet we can't use nunchaku to do our self-defense," he said.
