A total of 160 legislative bills were passed in the State Senate and House of Representative’s final reading of legislative bills Tuesday. The approved bills will now move on to Governor David Ige, who will either sign, veto, or pass the bills without his signature.
“I am proud of the Senate’s accomplishments this session,” said Senate Majority Leader, Senator J. Kalani English. “We resolved a number of lingering issues, including Turtle Bay. We also provided support for some of our most fragile members of our community; the homeless, our seniors, our preschoolers, as well as provided safeguards for our natural resources.”
During the discussion, Senators approved measures that would include provisions to support the Senate’s Legislative Agenda, beginning at the start of the 2015 session. These movements would push Hawai’i towards a more resilient and sustainable state.
...Affirmative Consent: SB387 CD1 would establish an affirmative consent task force to review and make recommendations on the University of Hawai’i’s executive policy on sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
