Summary:
The House convened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and a quorum present, then received a gubernatorial message listing numerous bills signed by the governor. The chamber also handled conference committee business, including appointing conferees for House Bills 1003 and 1169 after refusing to concur with Senate amendments, and adopting a conference committee report on House Bill 1053, which repealed a Century Code section related to the length of the state highway system.
A major portion of the meeting focused on Senate Bill 2137, which would allow supplemental feed for hunting and include an expiration date. The House divided the proposed amendments into two parts. Division A, dealing with baiting limits and setbacks near livestock facilities, drew extensive debate over private property rights, enforceability, livestock protection, and hunting access, and failed 14-76. Division B, requiring chronic wasting disease surveillance and a report to Legislative Management, also drew debate over whether the reporting requirement was necessary or too late to be useful; it failed 44-46. With both divisions defeated, the House then passed the underlying bill 56-34.
The House also laid over Senate Bills 2340, 2326, and 2289. Later, it defeated Senate Bill 2325, which would have created a process for non-federal easements on wetland areas, by a vote of 4-84. It passed Senate Bill 2210, directing a legislative management study on watershed-based water management, 85-3; Senate Bill 2387, establishing rights for sexual violence survivors, 89-0; and Senate Bill 269, allowing state agencies to satisfy legal notice requirements by posting on their websites if newspaper publication is missed, 72-17. The House then excused absent members and adjourned until Monday, April 14, 2025.

Summary:
The House convened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and a roll call that established a quorum. The journal from the previous day was approved as corrected, standing committee and division reports were adopted without objection, and several bills received second readings, including House Files 719, 2484, 2486, and 4808, and Senate Files 334, 1943, and 5200. The House also received House Files 5150 through 5155 for first reading, and Senate File 3236 was introduced and referred to the Transportation Finance and Policy Committee; it relates to requiring helmets for operators of electric-assisted bicycles under age 18.
The main substantive action was on House File 3489, the education bill establishing a field trip policy and the criminal offense of grooming. Representative Bennett explained that the Senate amendments removed the field trip component, added training for mandated reporters to identify sensitive situations such as field trips, and tightened the grooming definition to avoid unintended coverage. Representative Jordan supported the amended bill, and the House voted to concur in the Senate amendments. The bill then passed third reading as amended by the Senate by a vote of 133 ayes and 0 nays, with its title agreed to.
The Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration also designated House File 2354 for the supplemental calendar for Saturday, May 16. Representative Niska’s motion to adjourn until Sunday, May 17 at 1:00 p.m. prevailed, and later the House recessed to the call of the Speaker after discussion of a future Rules Committee meeting and a planned recognition of a foreign dignitary.

Summary:
The House convened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and a roll call establishing a quorum. The journal from the previous day was approved as corrected, and House Files 5140 through 5143 were introduced and given first reading. The Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration also reported that Senate File 3720 was designated for the calendar for Thursday, May 14, 2026, with a pre-filing requirement for amendments.
During the floor session, Representative Long repeatedly questioned the status of Senate File 4067, described as a comprehensive gun violence prevention package, asking where it was located and when it would move through committee. The Speaker responded that the bill, along with other omnibus bills from the Senate, was under review and would move at the appropriate time, which was within the Speaker’s prerogative. Long argued that families affected by gun violence wanted the bill advanced to the floor for a vote and urged leadership to move it forward.
Representative Niska then moved that the House recess to the call of the Speaker, and the motion carried. The House announced it would recess, with members also indicating they would meet in their caucuses.

Summary:
The Committee on Culture and the Arts heard testimony on HB 9 HD1, which would designate Hawaii as a Purple Heart State, and SB 2723, relating to State Sheriff’s Day. On HB 9 HD1, Takumi Abby of Purple Heart Chapter 483 testified in strong support, saying the bill would recognize the service and sacrifice of combat-wounded veterans and honor Purple Heart recipients and their families. Additional support was noted from the Office of Veterans Services, the Hawaii Military Affairs Council, and CARES, whose representative Angela Melody Young described related veteran-honoring efforts in Honolulu and across Oahu and said the state designation would extend that recognition statewide.
Members then moved to decision-making on HB 9 HD1. One member briefly commented on family military service and the importance of remembering Purple Heart recipients. The committee voted to adopt the chair’s recommendation to pass the measure as is, with all members present voting aye.
For SB 2723, the chair indicated the committee would further defer the date, while also recommending passage with amendments. The committee voted on the amended version and adopted the chair’s recommendation with no objections or reservations.
