    Calling the 10:54 agenda to order. This meeting, including the audio and video of remote participants, is being streamed live on YouTube. You will find links to viewing options for all Senate meetings on the live and on demand video page of our website. We have four agendas this morning.

  • Donovan Dela Cruz

    Legislator

    The first agenda has only one item, SB2656, which is a short form bill relating to taxation. The purpose of this meeting is to insert the provisions of the proposed SD1 that is posted online and recommit the bill to start the process again to get referred and we'll have a full hearing at a later date.

  • Donovan Dela Cruz

    Legislator

    The recommendation of the Chair is to pass SB2656, proposed SD1 with amendments and recommit the bill back to the Committee on Ways and Means. Chair votes Aye.

  • Sharon Moriwaki

    Legislator

    SB 2656, pass with amendments and recommit. [Roll Call] Chair, your recommendation is adopted.

  • Donovan Dela Cruz

    Legislator

    Thank you. We have three other agendas for decision making only. No oral testimony. We were taken for these measures. If you're interested in reviewing the written testimony, please go to our website. You will find the link on the status page of each measure. Thank you. Everyone who submitted testimony.

  • Donovan Dela Cruz

    Legislator

    Due to the large amount of testimony we receive, the Committee will be taking time to review the testimony and defer DMS at to a later date on all three agendas on the 10th. Okay. Yeah. 1055. I think I need to adjourn.

  • Donovan Dela Cruz

    Legislator

    Okay.

  • Donovan Dela Cruz

    Legislator

    Calling to order the 1055 agenda. The Committee will defer decision making to Monday, March 21001 in this room. With the exception of SB 334. The Committee plans to defer this bill today, then repost SB334 as a proposed SD2 and have a full hearing on it. We will take the testimony on the proposed SD2.

  • Donovan Dela Cruz

    Legislator

    So in submitting your testimony, please testify on the proposed SD2 and not the current version that will be posted on our website.

  • Donovan Dela Cruz
