House adopts multiple committee reports, advances several senate bills by voice vote
Summary
The House adopted a slate of standing committee reports (HSCR 1315-26 through HSCR 1321-26) and advanced accompanying senate bills to second reading or to the calendar for third reading; motions carried by voice vote and several members noted reservations.
The Hawaii House of Representatives adopted several standing committee reports and advanced accompanying senate bills during its March 23 session.
Representative Kahalua moved to adopt standing committee reports HSCR 1315-26 through HSCR 1321-26, as listed on the journal pages. Representative Morikawa seconded the motion; the House took a voice vote and the motion carried. The clerk said the accompanying senate bills, as amended, passed second reading and were referred to their designated committees.
Later, Representative Kahalua moved to adopt standing committee report HSCR 1322-26; Representative Morikawa seconded, the voice vote carried, and the clerk said the accompanying senate bill was placed on the calendar for third reading.
Several members recorded reservations during the proceedings. Representative Garcia stated he supported the motion "with reservations," and other members asked to note similar concerns. The House did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the record shows the measures advanced by voice vote during today's session.
The actions affect the procedural status of multiple senate bills but do not, in themselves, enact policy beyond advancing bills through the House calendar.
