Votes at a glance: confirmations, resolutions and several bills cleared on final reading
Summary
On the final day recorded in the transcript the Senate confirmed governor's nominees, adopted several concurrent resolutions and passed multiple measures on final reading by recorded tallies. Major roll-call results are summarized below.
HONOLULU — The Hawaii State Senate completed a number of routine and final-reading actions during the session recorded in the transcript, including confirmations, adoption of concurrent and simple resolutions, and final passage of bills on consent.
Key outcomes recorded on the floor:
- Confirmations: Standing committee nominations and governor's messages were confirmed by voice/roll-call; the clerk announced "25 ayes" for a set of nominees on the record.
- Final adoption of Senate Concurrent Resolutions (several SCRs listed on the agenda): The chamber moved and seconded final adoption; the majority approved the resolutions on the floor after a brief roll-call sequence and the clerk announced adoption.
- SB 1434, CD2 (universal immunization funding program): Passed final reading, 23 ayes, 2 noes.
- HB 1026, CD2 (emergency appropriations for public employment cost items): Passed final reading, 25 ayes.
- HB 1483, CD2 (fireworks): Passed final reading, 23 ayes, 2 noes.
- Senate resolutions SR 216 and SR 217: Adopted by unanimous consent after being moved and seconded on the floor.
Procedure notes: Several agenda items were taken on consent where the clerk announced final reading on consent. On some resolutions and measures members recorded reservations or no votes; the transcript captures specific no votes when called and lists members by name for those tallies.
The transcript does not include the full bill texts or governor actions following final passage; it records only the floor votes and, for some items, the names of members who recorded no votes.
