Will the Senate please come to order? Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

Thank you. The chairs read the journal of the preceding day and approves the same. Are there any introductions this morning? Not. Oh. Senator DeCorte.

May I please introduce my guests in the gallery?

Please proceed.

Thank you. If you could stand to your feet. Jermaine Myers. She is my constituent. A longtime Nanakuli homesteader. She is a Nanakuli neighborhood board member and is a strong advocate for Native Hawaiians, being very present and vocal at our OHA meetings, DHHL meetings, City Council, and here at the State Capitol. And we aloha you. We welcome you to the Hawaii State Senate.

Any further introductions, Senator Chang?

Thank you, Mr. President.

You know. Oh, okay, never mind that. You can say their names for the record anyway. But as soon as you are done, they have a quick first step.

Well, in the gallery were Members of my staff, our office manager, Ruben Sierra, our Committee Clerk, Angie Chapman, and our new intern, Johnny Williams.

Any further introduction? If not. Madam Clerk

On page two, standing Committee report numbers 1 and 2 for adoption. Senator Wakai.

Mr. President, I move for the adoption of Standing Committee reports numbers 1 and 2. Senator DeCorte.

Mr. President, I second the motion.

It's been moved and seconded. Is there any discussion? Any objections? If not, the motion is carried. Referrals and re referrals. Referrals and re referrals are made in accordance with the supplemental orders of the day. That may be filed later today.

No further business. Mr. President.

Are there any announcements today, Senator San Buenaventura.

Thank you, Mr. President. I rise on a point of personal privilege. Please proceed. Thank you. With Title 9 being potentially attacked, I would like to do a shout out to our, uh, Wahine basketball team, who last Saturday became CO number one in Big West Conference with a win over US Irvine, who they also beat on who they are CO number one with.

So this bobblehead on my desk is that of Laura Beeman, distributed during the Beeman Bash. And we need to continue to support them. Go bows.

Thank you. Any further announcements? If not the chair has one. The majority Senators are to report to the majority caucus room immediately after session. Thank you, Senator Wakai.

Kung Hei Fat Choi. I move that the Senate stand adjourn until 11:30am Tomorrow.

Senator DeCorte

Mr. President, I second the motion.

It's been moved and seconded. If there are no objections from the Members, the Senate will stand adjourned until 11:30am tomorrow.
