Here's the latest:
1) Both HB 1985 (previously HB 3090) and HB 1585 (the one that'll kill the TMT) were amended today no the Senate Floor. This meant that a final vote couldn't be held today. The amendments included setting their effective dates to 2033, which is simply allows either bill to stay alive without legislative action and means they go to conference committee and will also be discussed by the Senate again this Thursday. This means there is still time to contact legislators if you wish.
Kahele will also be holding his final public meeting about these bills tomorrow (Wednesday 11th April) at 7 pm at Ka Waiwai Collective, 1110 University Ave #100, Honolulu, if anyone happens to be in the area.

Remeber: HB 1985 was about a new MK management authority that was killed in the house but re-introduced to the Senate by gut-and-replace, and the text of HB 1585 is completely new and using gut-and-replace was introduced without the possibility of public testimony.
