House suspends rules and passes Senate Bill 3123 SD1; multiple committee reports advanced by voice vote
Summary
The Hawaii House suspended its rules to consider Senate Bill 3123 SD1 and passed the measure on third reading by voice vote; members also moved a large set of standing committee reports, with numerous members registering reservations or 'no vote' on specific items.
The Hawaii House of Representatives on the floor suspended its rules to consider Senate Bill 3123 SD1 and passed the measure on third reading by voice vote.
Representative Morikawa moved to suspend the rules to consider the senate bill for third reading by consent calendar and Representative Kahalua moved that Senate Bill 3123 SD1 pass third reading. Morikawa stated, "on the measure before us, all majority members vote aye," and Representative Garcia added, "on the measure before us, all minority members vote aye." The chair confirmed that all votes had been cast and announced that the bill passed third reading. The transcript does not record a numerical roll call; the passage was recorded by voice vote.
Earlier in the session, Representative Kahalua moved to adopt a large set of standing committee reports covering multiple report numbers; the House proceeded through the listed reports with several members registering "no vote" or "reservations" on particular reports. Multiple voice votes were taken to advance those reports to their designated committees or past second reading as noted, and the presiding officer ordered many of the items as "so ordered." When the clerk announced the roll earlier in the session, the clerk said, "Madam speaker, 49 members are present," establishing a quorum for the day's proceedings.
The record shows members (including Representatives Garcia, Pierrick and Alcos) registering reservations or declining to vote on specific report numbers at various points during the committee‑report sequence. The transcript does not provide full numeric tallies for those committee‑report voice votes; where members stated "no vote" or "reservations," those entries were recorded on the House floor.
No additional bill text, amendments or substantive debate on the contents of SB 3123 SD1 appear in the transcript beyond the procedural motions and the voice votes recorded on the floor.
The House then continued to announcements and adjourned until 12:00 noon the following day.
