Summary
The House Committee on Education on April 8 advanced most of the resolutions on its agenda, adopting HCR144/HR136 with amendments recommended by the Hawaii State Council on Developmental Disabilities, passed several other measures as-is, and deferred HCR55/HR51 for later consideration.
The House Committee on Education met April 8 in ECD Room 423 and moved to act on a slate of concurrent resolutions. The committee voted to adopt amendments on one measure, passed several others as recommended by the chair, and deferred one item until a later date.
The chair recommended deferring HCR55/HR51; the committee accepted that recommendation and the item was deferred. The committee then recommended adopting amendments to HCR144/HR136 as proposed by the Hawaii State Council on Developmental Disabilities; the committee adopted the resolution with those amendments after a roll-call routine.
Several resolutions were passed in voice votes with no recorded opposition or reservations. The committee approved HCR8/HR7, HCR10/HR12, HCR33/HR33, HCR185/HR175 and HCR116/HR108 on the chair's recommendation. Committee members indicated unanimous consent in the recorded voice responses used during the session.
Testimony on the day's agenda was limited. Witnesses who appeared included Chase Silver of the Hawaii State Council on Developmental Disabilities, Chris Caulfield of IMUWA Alliance, and Jun Yang from the Statewide Office on Housing, Homelessness and Housing Solutions. Where witnesses requested data or amendments, the committee indicated willingness to incorporate recommended language or receive follow-up information.
The committee adjourned after decision-making and adopted the advertised actions for the measures listed on the agenda.
