The latest hearing on SB3090 SD1 was held today. I haven't heard any news yet on how it went, but am sure we'll see updates soon. You can read the testimonies for and against the revised bill here:

I am not sure this is the final or only list of testimonies. I suspect not. In any case, from the astronomy side, the most relevant testimony is from David Lassner, UH president, which starts on page 111, and that from the Mauna Kea observatories, which starts on page 125. Many of the points they make are also the concerns I've mentioned in this thread.
Note that as for SB3090, the testimonies overwhelmingly oppose SB3090 SD1.
