Arizona House legislators will return to work Tuesday in Phoenix, reportedly aiming to take a couple of enforcement tools away from Gov. Doug Ducey’s executive authority and protect businesses from liability tied to coronavirus cases.

House lawmakers adjourned two months ago as the COVID-19 pandemic grew more serious. Now, they’re scheduled to convene Tuesday morning for a committee hearing and then floor session at 1 pm. The state Senate voted to adjourn.
