House adopts resolution honoring 808 Elite, advances hundreds of bills to second reading
Summary
The House adopted House Resolution No. 11 recognizing the 808 Elite youth football team and approved a motion to adopt a package of standing committee reports that moves numerous House bills to second reading and referral, carried by voice vote.
The House of Representatives adopted House Resolution No. 11 recognizing 808 Elite for its national championship accomplishments and then approved a motion to adopt a broad set of standing committee reports, moving many bills to second reading and referral.
Representative Holt and Representative Todd led floor remarks recognizing the team’s travel and competitive success; Holt praised the players, coaches and families and invited honorees and supporters to the floor. After brief remarks the chair called the question; members answered “aye” and the resolution was adopted. Representative Holt was directed to present the certificate and the House recessed to allow members to congratulate the honorees.
Later in the morning Representative Kahalua moved to adopt standing committee reports numbered in the 130–201 range as listed on the session papers and to have the accompanying House bills, as may be amended, pass second reading and be referred to their designated committees. Representative Morikawa seconded the motion. During the clerk’s enumeration of report numbers several members entered reservations or recorded “no vote” on particular items; those reservations were noted on the record. The chair then took a voice vote on the overall motion; members answered “aye” and the chair declared the motion carried.
The measures covered by the committee reports included a long list of bill numbers referenced by the clerk; individual bills were not debated at length on the floor during the omnibus motion, though several representatives registered reservations on specific items. The chair reminded members of the triple-referral filing deadline for bills moving from first to second committees. The House recessed for the certificate presentation and later adjourned until 12:00 noon the next day.
Actions recorded on the floor included the adoption of House Resolution No. 11 and the formal motion to adopt standing committee reports and move listed bills to second reading. The record shows seconding speakers and the chair’s voice rulings; no roll-call tallies were recorded for the omnibus report adoption, only the chair’s declaration that the motion was carried.
