House passes bill ("house bill number 2 2 4 0 HD 1") after brief debate over session-expense language

The House took up a bill for third reading after the Speaker granted a motion to suspend the rules to consider it by consent. Representative Morikawa moved to suspend the rules; Representative Garcia seconded, and the motion carried by voice vote.

Representative Kahalua moved that "house bill number 2 2 4 0 HD 1" be passed on third reading and Representative Morikawa seconded. A member rose "in support with reservations," saying that while the bill includes funding for House and Senate sessions and interim activities, "It does not include the words special session. It does not include the words override session," and the speaker expressed concern about whether those expenses are explicitly covered.

The House resolved the question by voice vote. The presiding officer reported that "all majority members vote aye," and the clerk reported that "all minority members vote aye with exception of the previous speaker." The Speaker declared that the house bill passed third reading.

The transcript does not provide a bill short title or summary text beyond that the bill is listed as "house bill number 2 2 4 0 HD 1" on the printed page; the record does not include an individual roll-call tally for the final passage and does not specify whether the reservations expressed will be addressed in subsequent conference or committee materials.
