House agrees to senate amendments and passes several bills on final reading
Summary
The House agreed to senate amendments and passed listed house bills on final reading by consent calendar; motions to suspend rules and pass final reading were approved and the clerk reported the measures passed by voice vote.
The House moved to agree to senate amendments for specified bills and to suspend the rules to consider a set of house bills on final reading by consent calendar. Representative Kahaloha moved to agree to the amendments and asked the chamber to pass the listed measures; Representative Morikawa seconded the motions.
Members registered 'reservations' or 'no vote' on certain standing committee reports and listed bills during floor discussion. The presiding officer called for voices and reported that "on the measures before us, all majority members vote aye" and that "all minority members vote aye," after which the presiding officer announced that the said bills passed final reading.
Bills identified on the floor included house bill numbers 2296, 2315 and 2343 (house drafts and senate drafts as noted on the day's order of business). The record in the transcript reflects passage by voice vote and does not include roll-call tallies for the bills on final reading in the provided segments.
Following passage, the House moved to announcements and adjourned until 12:00 noon on Monday. Committee chairs were reminded of a filing deadline: amended senate concurrent resolutions and committee reports/drafts must be filed with the chief clerk’s office by 6 p.m. that day.
