Committee advances housekeeping bill, postpones youth commission review and moves to executive session
Summary
The committee recommended passage of a housekeeping bill on third reading, postponed action on the youth commission item until the next scheduled meeting, and recessed into executive session to consult attorneys on several posted items.
The Committee on International and Legal Affairs recommended that Bill 33, a largely housekeeping measure, be reported out for passage on third reading. The chair said there were no remote or in-person registered testifiers on the bill and recommended it be advanced.
On the agenda item concerning the youth commission (retain, re-amend or repeal), the chair said the matter would be postponed until the committee’s next scheduled meeting and that the chair would prepare a draft report and recommendations in the interim.
The committee then recessed into executive session to consult with the corporation counsel and outside counsel on several agenda items. The chair read the posted executive-session items and allowed requests for staff advisers to attend; members requested that policy advisers from council offices be present. The executive-session notice cited HRS sections permitting closed consultation with attorneys.
The committee’s procedural recommendations were made without recorded public testimony, and the chair called the meeting into executive session at the close of the public items.
Items of record: Bill 33, CD1 — chair recommended reporting out for passage on third reading; Youth Commission item — postponed to next committee meeting; Executive session convened with counsel and specified staff present.
