House adopts standing committee reports 2104through 2120 in voice vote; Rep. Shimizu registers opposition

The Hawaii House of Representatives adopted standing committee report numbers 2104 through 2120, as listed on pages 2 through 6 of the House journal, by unanimous voice action after a floor motion. Representative Todd moved adoption and Representative Morikawa seconded; the presiding officer called for a voice vote and announced the motion carried.

Representative Shimizu rose in opposition before the voice vote and said on the floor, "It's not easy to, oppose something, especially when, I I know that this is just a resolution. But, I I just wanna draw attention to our efforts here to focus on the people of Hawaii and the many challenges that we have." The transcript records Shimizus remarks as a statement of reservation rather than a request to amend or delay the items.

Several members made procedural entries in support or reservation while the chamber moved through the list of reports. Multiple members indicated "No vote" or "So ordered" during the roll-call sequence for the set of reports, and one member, Representative Holt, asked and received permission to insert written comments into the journal.

The motion to adopt covered both the listed standing committee reports and "the accompanying Senate concurrent resolutions as may be amended," as stated on the floor. The transcript does not provide individual bill or resolution texts, specific amendment language, or recorded roll-call tallies for each report; all actions were completed by voice vote on the floor.

Other floor business included the clerks announcement that 49 members were present and one was excused at the time of the roll call, and later a motion to adjourn the House until 11:30 a.m. the following day. Representative Morikawa moved adjournment; Representative Garcia seconded; the presiding officer called a voice vote and announced the motion carried.
