For GM750 (Tracy Fujita, Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation) the committee recorded 'Aye' votes from the chair, the vice chair, Senator Chang and Senator O'Hara; Senator San Buenaventura was excused. For GM778 (Jessica Schaeffer, Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women) the committee recorded no 'No' votes or reservations and adopted the measure.
