Hawaii Senate adopts five committee reports by unanimous consent; House notifies disagreement on HB 991
Summary
The Hawaii State Senate adopted Standing Committee Reports 13-62 through 13-66 by unanimous consent, filed several governor messages and referrals, and received notice from the House that it disagreed to Senate amendments on House Bill 991, Senate Draft 1. The chamber set third reading on consent and adjourned until 11:30 a.m. Thursday, March 20.
The Hawaii State Senate on the floor on Tuesday adopted standing committee reports numbered 13-62 through 13-66 by unanimous consent, the chamber record shows. Senator Wakai moved the adoption and Senator Decourt seconded; the presiding officer asked for objections and, receiving none, declared the motion carried.
The actions came amid routine floor business that included filing governor messages and making referrals. The clerk reported Governor’s Message No. 8 transmitting proposed changes to the fiscal biennium 2025–2027 executive budget and Governor’s Messages Nos. 760–766 making corrections to board names and transmitting nominations to various boards and commissions; those items were filed and referred as indicated on the order of the day.
The clerk also reported House Communication No. 384 informing the Senate that the House disagreed to amendments the Senate had proposed to House Bill 991, Senate Draft 1. That communication was entered on the record; no further floor debate on HB 991 was recorded during this session.
The presiding officer announced the chamber will take third reading on consent for the items listed on page 6 of the calendar after unanimous consent was acknowledged. There were 18 senators present and 7 excused when attendance was called.
Senator Wakai later moved that the Senate stand adjourned to 11:30 a.m. Thursday, March 20; Senator Decourt seconded. With no objections raised, the presiding officer declared the Senate adjourned.
No roll-call vote totals were recorded in the transcript for the committee-report adoption or the adjournment motion; both were carried via unanimous consent procedures on the floor.
