Hawaii House advances two committee reports to third reading; members introduce visitors, set luncheon
Summary
The Hawaii House of Representatives adopted Standing Committee Report Nos. 795 and 796 by voice vote, moving the accompanying house bills as amended to third reading. The chamber also registered 46 members present, heard several member introductions and an announcement about a fellowship luncheon.
The Hawaii House of Representatives voted by voice to adopt Standing Committee Report Nos. 795 and 796, advancing the accompanying house bills as amended to third reading calendar, Representative Todd said during the Oct. 27 session. Representative Morikawa seconded the motion and the clerk announced the motion carried after a voice vote.
The action was procedural: Representative Todd moved “to adopt standing committee report numbers 795 and 796, as listed on pages 1 and 2, and that the accompanying house bills as amended pass second reading and be placed on the calendar for third reading.” The chamber recorded no roll-call tally for the motion in the transcript excerpt; the clerk later reported “the motion is carried.”
The session began with roll call; the clerk reported 46 members present and five excused. The clerk also announced there were no messages from the governor and no senate communications during the portion of the record provided.
Members used the floor to introduce visitors and staff. Representative Garcia introduced guests Anne Marie Grama Barnes and Zach Barnes from Washington, D.C., and Jack, Madeline and Carolyn Graham from Ohio. Representative Martin introduced Keo Hello, a political science student from Waimanalo who will begin an internship in her office, and Ami Horii, her new office manager. Representative Olds introduced committee aide Jeanette Lum. Representative Lee introduced committee clerk Jonah McNealer and aide Dominique Cortez Montejo. Representative Reyes Oda introduced Emilio McCulloughlad, a teacher from Molokai High School in the gallery for an FFA event.
Representative Kong announced a fellowship luncheon scheduled for Thursday at 11:30 a.m. in Conference Room 423 with guest speaker Pastor Frank Cuoso and asked members to RSVP. Near the close of the excerpted session, Representative Morikawa moved that the House stand adjourned until 12:00 noon the next day; Representative Garcia seconded, and the chair announced the motion carried.
The record provided is procedural and contains no debate on the substantive content of the bills moved to third reading in the excerpt; the transcript references the committee reports and page numbers but does not include bill titles or summary language in the excerpted portion.
