House adopts resolution asking chief justice to address joint session for State of the Judiciary
Summary
The Hawaii House of Representatives adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1, requesting that the chief justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court address the legislature in a joint session for a State of the Judiciary message; the motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
The Hawaii House of Representatives adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1, which requests that the chief justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court address the legislature in a joint session for a State of the Judiciary presentation.
A member moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was seconded and then carried by voice vote. The presiding officer called for "Aye" and, following the response, declared: "The motion is carried senate concurrent resolution number 1 is adopted." The transcript does not identify the member who moved the motion by name on the record and records only that Representative Matsumoto was involved during the exchange.
Why it matters: Senate concurrent resolutions are used to request actions or express the sentiment of the legislature. A request that the chief justice address a joint session would set the schedule for a judiciary report to the full legislature.
The House did not record a roll-call tally for the adoption in the transcript; the adoption was announced after a voice vote.
