The House Committee on Legislative Management took action on multiple bills during its Feb. 18 meeting. Below is a concise list of each measure the committee voted on or otherwise disposed of, with the committee’s recorded outcome and any vote information included in the transcript.
- HB 1805 — Relating to child welfare: Passed with amendments; committee transferred the bill to the Attorney General’s Office for scope/jurisdiction revisions and set the child-advocate salary at 90% of the Department of Health deputy director. Recorded ayes (as read): chair, vice chair, Rep. Kahaloha, Rep. Morikawa, Rep. Matsumoto.
- HB 2110 — Relating to nepotism: Deferred. Chair indicated house rules already address nepotism and that statutory duplication would be unnecessary.
- HB 2180 — Relating to voting boards: Committee deleted references to the Legislative Reference Bureau, converted the measure into an appropriations vehicle (blank appropriation to the House) and passed with amendments; the transcript reports the chair’s recommendation was adopted (no roll-call tallies provided).
- HB 2184 — Relating to lawmaker safety: Committee accepted Attorney General amendments, made technical edits for style/consistency, and passed with amendments (no roll-call tallies provided).
- HB 2219 — Relating to disclosure of attorney-client and work-product privilege communications to the Ombudsman: Passed with amendments; committee set a defective effective date and the Ombudsman clarified the bill does not require agencies to provide privileged materials and that receipt by the office would not waive privilege to other parties.
- HB 2469 — Relating to a regular session review working group: Committee changed a reference to the League of Women Voters to 'community member,' restored recommended appropriation amounts in its report, set a defective date, and passed with amendments.
Where the transcript did not provide an explicit roll-call tally, the committee clerk or chair reported that the chair’s recommendation was adopted. For items where the transcript lists named members during the vote, those names are included above; where the transcript omits a tally, the outcome is reported as adopted per the committee record in the hearing transcript.
