House advances bills tied to standing committee reports 795 and 796 to third reading

The Hawaii House of Representatives adopted standing committee reports 795 and 796 and advanced the accompanying house bills, as amended, to third reading during a floor session. Representative Todd moved adoption and Representative Morikawa seconded.

The motion, made “Madam speaker, I move to adopt standing committee report numbers 795 and 796, as listed on pages 1 and 2. And that the accompanying house bills as amended past second reading and be placed on the calendar for third reading,” was carried by voice vote after a brief check for discussion. Representative Pierrick responded “No, no, no” when asked whether there was further discussion.

Clerk’s attendance announced earlier in the session recorded 46 members present and five excused. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or a numerical tally for the voice vote; the clerk recorded only that “the motion is carried.”

The action moves the bills forward on the House calendar to third reading; the transcript does not specify bill numbers, titles, or substantive text for the measures associated with the committee reports. No additional debate or amendments on the floor were recorded in the transcript for these items.

The measures will appear on the House calendar for third reading at a later point; the transcript does not include scheduling details or the bills’ content.
