Senate approves measures on energy, pesticides, economic development and stadium fund
Summary
The Hawaii State Senate passed four bills on third reading relating to energy, pesticides, economic development and the Stadium Development Special Fund; vote tallies and named dissenters were recorded on the floor.
The Hawaii State Senate on third reading approved four measures: Senate Bill 997, SD3 (relating to energy); Senate Bill 352, SD2 (relating to pesticides); Senate Bill 1396, SD3 (relating to economic development); and Senate Bill 1589, SD3 (relating to the Stadium Development Special Fund).
Senators announced vote tallies on the chamber floor as each bill cleared third reading. The clerk recorded that SB 997, SD3 passed with "22 ayes, 2 nos." SB 352, SD2 passed with "24 ayes." For SB 1396, SD3 the transcript records named no votes for Senator Awa and Senator DeCour and states the bill passed third reading; no complete roll-call tally was read into the record. SB 1589, SD3 passed third reading with "22 ayes, 2 noes." The bills were advanced as part of the Senate's third-reading calendar with no additional substantive debate recorded in the provided transcript.
The bills were introduced on the floor by bill number and short subject only; the transcript does not include bill text, committee reports, or the specific substantive provisions of each measure. As read on the floor, the bills were identified as: - SB 997, SD3 — relating to energy. - SB 352, SD2 — relating to pesticides. - SB 1396, SD3 — relating to economic development. - SB 1589, SD3 — relating to the Stadium Development Special Fund.
The record also shows reservations and named senators when members were asked for objections or reservations before votes. For SB 1396 the clerk recorded named no votes (Senator Awa and Senator DeCour). For other bills the record gives only aggregate tallies or a list of senators for whom reservations were noted; the transcript does not supply full per-member roll-call votes for all measures.
In other business, the Senate took advice and consent on several governor's messages and confirmed nominees by unanimous consent where no objections were raised.
The Senate adjourned with a motion to reconvene at 11:30 a.m. the following day.
