HB 1585 before going into conference on 04/04/2018:
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session20...5_SD1_.HTM
After a private conference, with no chance for public testimony, it comes out as:
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session20...5_SD2_.HTM
These aren't small changes, it's a completely unethical change of the bill's wording designed to sneak through and become law without the possibility of public testimony.
For those offended by this blatant disregard of democracy, please contact the following:
* Sylvia Luke (Chair of House Finance Committee): 808-586-6200, repluke@Capitol.hawaii.gov
* Mark Nakashima (Rep for Hamakua & Hilo): 808-586-6680, repnakashima@Capitol.hawaii.gov
* Scott Saiki (House Speaker): 808-586-6100, repsaiki@Capitol.hawaii.gov
And finally, Gov. Ige:
gov@gov.state.hi.us
Please do your best to stop such shady practices from happening again.
