Recommendation on this one is to, in subsection f on page five, specify that the order of controlling authority specify the order of sorry, specify that the order of controlling authority if a deadline for voting or written consent is established by an authority other than the board, it is first the what's what it says in the declarations, then the bylaws, and then Chapter five fourteen b that would control.

Change the phrase special rule order to special rule on page four for clarity, and it still does have a bad date. Questions or concerns? If not, Senator Gabbard.

Voting with reservations on this. I although I'm for electronic voting and and mail in voting, I think you there needs to be there needs to be there needs to be an ability for dissenters to be able to dissent instead of just voting as is with the ballot, whatever it is that the ballot is to then sent to them.

The recommendation on this one is to pass with some amendments suggested by the AG. So add a new section after section dash three prohibited action by law enforcement agencies or law enforcement officials.

So that's basically a tech. And then the construction under so federal law, nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting or restricting any state or county law enforcement agency or any law enforcement official from acting in accordance with title eight, United States code sections thirteen seventy three and sixteen forty four.

This expands the protections established under act two of 2023 to include gender affirming health care services, including clarifying permitted disclosures or protected health information to address changes in federal regulation. The recommendation here is to pass with amendments.

It will accept the amendments requested Planned Parenthood that amend the abuse of litigation statute on page three to five to allow for civil actions by aggrieved persons to be bought brought in the civil court where they reside or where they are or where they accessed, received, provided, or facilitated health care.

Also, amend the abuse of litigation statute to add a subsection that clarifies that abuse of litigation does not include standard health care actions or activities of a health care regarding insurance coverage, status, fraud, waste, or the lawful activities of a health payer to re enforce the rights under a contract with a person or entity. We'll delete the reference to standard of care and the definition of gender affirming care on page seven, and we'll revise the preamble be consistent with above an amendments.

We'll make the bill effective on 07/01/2026. And I'll just check with the human health and human services chair that That's fine.

What she wanted to do. Okay. That's their suggestions, questions, or concerns. If not, Vice Chair.

HB 1875 HD1 SD1. Recommendations passed with amendments. Any no votes or reservations? Vice Chair votes no. Measures adopted.

Thank you. Next up is HB 1881. This prohibits passenger ropeways and all land use districts with an exemption for a government entity or government official government recognized corporation or nonprofit organization subject to legislative approval. Recommendation is to apply it to public property only to avoid potential takings issues. And they did receive prior concurrence, and I think it still has a bad date.

Yes. Still has a bad date. Questions or concerns? If not, Vice Chair.

On HB 1881, HD1 SD1, recommendations to pass an amendment. Any no votes or reservations? Measures adopted.

K. Next thank you. Next up is HB 1886. Establishes provisions limiting state and federal collaboration for purposes of immigration enforcement standards, establishes identification and facial coverage standards for state and federal law enforcement officers, and establishes criminal offenses for improper facial coverings and lack of visual identification on all the rights civil immigration and interrogation, arrest, or detention. Okay.

This we do have prior concurrence, and there's a whole bunch of changes, so bear with me. We'd like to harmonize Chapter one thirty nine with Chapter seven ten and add plain clothes plain clothes identification exemption. We'll amend page seven, lines nine to 12, and page eight, lines 11 to 21.

So the administrative section mirrors the criminal section and includes a plainclothes exception that will read no law enforcement officer or federal law enforcement officer officer shall wear a facial covering conceals or obscures the officer's facial identity while engaged in official duties in a public setting except as provided in subsection e.

In the subsection b, every law enforcement officer and federal law enforcement officer engaging in official duties in a public setting shall display visible identification on the outermost garment or gear that includes the eight officer's agency, either the officer's last name or unique badge number provided that this subsection shall not apply to a plainclothes or undercover operation authorized by supervising personnel or core or or disclosure of identity would jeopardize officer safety or the inter integrity of the operation.

Then another section will another addition would be eliminate duplication or conflicts between the two face covering sections to keep both sections at a conforming clause at the start of Chapter seven ten. Requirements and exemptions in this section shall be construed consistently with Section one thirty nine, and we'll amend the page nine, line 20 to page 10, line two. So the criminal sections also requires intentional concealment.

No law enforcement officer shall intentionally wear a facial covering and conceals or obscure to law enforcement's facial identity while the officer is performing official duties. And then we'll remove, remove a redundant SWAT exemption.

So delete on page 10, line 16 to 18, assigned to special weapons and tactics teams while perform actively performing special weapons and tactics responsibility. Replace unauthorized interrogation offense with a narrower version. Replace page 12 line 16 through page 13 line 16 with unauthorized civil immigration arrest or detention.

A person commits the offense of unauthorized civil immigration arrest or detention if the person is a law enforcement officer acting under color of law who intentionally or knowingly acts beyond the scope of the law enforcement officer's lawful authority by initiating or prolonging a stop, detention, or arrest for the purpose of determining or enforcing the person's civil immigration status when the law enforcement officer lacks reasonable suspicion based on specific and articulable facts that the person is unlawfully present in The United States.

An unauthorized civil immigration arrest or detention will be a class c felony.

The purposes of this section, civil immigration status means a person's status under a federal immigration law that is civil nature, not by itself a crime a criminal offense under state law. Reasonable suspicion shall be not based on based solely on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, language, accent, religion, manner of dress, presence in a particular location, or the exercise of rights protected by The United States interrogation and delete or the or in the court or the Hawaii state constitution from the regional suspicion definition.

And we'll add a savings clause. And then I'd also like to add committee language pointing out to conferees that there are several related bills still alive, and we'll list them to note that they aren't all referred the same way. So I'll include specifically Senator Chang's bill, Senate bill 2203 in addition to those noted in other places.

Want me to repeat that? Questions or concerns? If not, Vice Chair.

On HB 1886, HD2 SD1, recommendations to pass with amendments. Are there any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measure is adopted.

Thank you. Next up is HB 1897. This amends the conditions and procedures of alternate dispute resolution for condo related disputes. This one, I'm not quite happy with yet, so I'm gonna defer it until Thursday, 10:02AM. That is April 9 at in this Room 016.

K. Next up is HB 1957 related to safe entryways, establishes for a county with a population greater than 300,000 enforcement procedures to prevent people or personal property from blocking or otherwise impeding entryways. This one I'm gonna defer indefinitely. It certainly isn't a a problem.

It certainly is a problem in the district I represent, but if the doorway is private property that's trespass and if it's on a public sidewalk, there's already a law that prohibits you from blocking the sidewalk, which was my bill back in, like, 2014.

So that one is deferred in that one. HB 1959 is next relating to domestic violence, violence, extends for five years, certain provisions from act 19 from session loss twenty twenty relating to abuse family or household members, including establishing a petty misdemeanor, offense of abuse for family or household members, clarifying the penalties for violations, etcetera.

Makes violations of petty misdemeanor as it establishes a private right of action. Recommendation here is also to pass as is.

HB 1961, HD2 SD1, recommendation to pass as is. Any no votes or reservations? Vice Chair votes no. Measures adopted.

Thank you. Next is HB 1962 and establishes misestablishes an exemption for mediation and parentage proceedings where there are allegations of domestic abuse, clarifies the exemptions for mediation and to force proceedings as it relates to domestic domestic abuse.

Oh, I'm sorry. Yep. Yep. Here it is. Sorry.

Thank you. Next up is HB 2121 beginning of 01/01/2027, prohibits the sale, offer for sale, or distribution for sale of any disposable electronic smoking device in the state. Recommendation here is I'm gonna defer it, and the reason for it is SB 2175, which has a less challengeable title is moving on the house side. So we'll defer this one. HB 2152 relating to dog attacks.

So the recommendation is to make some amendments. But if you don't like them, Chair Gabbard, we can do otherwise. The recommendation my recommendation on is on page three, line 16, and page four, line oh, lines 12 and 13. Limit persons who may kill the dog to to the owner of the livestock or their agents, which may include family members, and make the application to district court just like any other filing to district court, and the judge may order the dog euthanized.

And we'll remove the joint and several liability on page 6 line 7, which I'm not sure it means anything in this context.

And it does have a bad date, so you can tinker at conference if you want. Okay. Sounds good. Other questions or concerns? If not, Vice Chair.

HB 2152 HD2 SD1, recommendation to pass with amendments. Any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measures are done.

On HB 2282 HD1 SD1 recommendation to pass as is. Any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measure is adopted.

K. Thank you. Next up is HB 2293. This clarifies the scope of the Department of Education's harm to student registry by excluding k to 12 students and providing their contractors and volunteers are included only if the roles involve interaction with students. Recommendation here is to pass as is.

Questions or concerns? Seeing none, Senator Senator Gabbard.

HB 2293 HD2 SD1. Recommendation to pass as is. Any no votes or reservation? Hearing none, the measure is adopted.

Thank you. That brings us to HB 2309 relating to the Wayne Holmes Commission Act of 1920 that amends this act to include siblings, children as qualifying relatives of lessees. Can I skip one again?

I can't hear you, but $22 if we are big.

2293?

We voted on 22.

Yeah. We got 22.

Yeah. That's what I'm ending. Yeah.

HB 2309, this is the Hawaiian Homes Hawaiian Homes Commission Act changes to include to amend it to include siblings, children as qualifying relatives of lessees for the purposes of lease lease transfer and lease accessorship in the same manner currently allowed for spouses, children, grandchildren, and siblings. We'll go ahead and put a different bad date on it, 03/22/2075. So that's the only amendment. Questions or concerns? If not, Vice Chair.

HB 2309 HD1, the pass of amendment. Any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measure is adopted.

Okay. Thank you. Next up is HB 2314 modernizes Hawaii's emergency medical service laws to align with current best practices. Our recommendation here to pass as is. Questions or concerns?

On HB 2314, HD2 SD1 recommendation to pass as is. Any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measure is adopted.

Thank you. Next up is HB 2324. This repeals the requirement that the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations regulate hoisting machines and certify their operators on the hoisting machine operators advisory board. The recommendation on this one is to defer it. The companion SB 3144 is already to the full house and is scheduled for tomorrow, I believe. Next up is HB 2413.

This requires release on recognizance for defendants charged with violations, traffic offenses, nonviolent pettis, nonviolent misdemeanors, nonviolent class c felony, subject to conditions. Our recommendation here. Our recommendation here is to pass it with several amendments. There is a bad date on it, which we will leave for further discussion. Proposed amendments are to define violent use looks I'm sorry.

Is that correct? Yes. We'll define violent. We'll use the definition we used for, like, an immigration bill, violent crime that we used for immigration bill a week or so ago. For purposes of this section, violent or violent offense means a crime of violence as defined in Section 134-1.

And under Section 134-1, crime of violence includes any offense under federal or state law or the law of another state, United States territory. I don't think we need to read that bubble thing. So that's that's where it is. We'll replace subsection f written findings with oral findings on the record with findings reflected in minutes minute orders as appropriate.

And we'll limit the reconsideration of bail without cause to one time and allow more re allow another re allow further reconsiderations if there's a change of circumstance or new information.

We'll clarify subsection I so only the court may impose sanction or financial conditions under sub under Section eight zero four dash 7.3. Prosecutors' pretrial officers may only file the application or request. And I'd also like to put in some committee report language explaining that posting bail is no guarantee of appearance and that those on bail commit additional crimes from time to time. Note that to ensure appearance by every arrestee, everyone should have to be held I'm sorry.

To ensure appearance by every arrestee, everyone would have to be held until their trial date.

Not only would this be very expensive, it's not necessary, and it's probably unconstitutional as well. The general rule is that you are innocent until proven guilty, not that you must start serving a sentence before you've been convicted of a crime. I believe we I mentioned we do it in prior to occurrence. Questions, concerns? If not, vice chair.

HB 2413 HD1 SD1 of relations to pass with amendments. Any no votes or reservations? Vice Chair votes with reservations. Measure is adopted.

Alright. Thank you very much. Next up is HB 2433 requires that priority be given to the language of a law that aligns with the intent of the legislature. If there is a difference between the English and Hawaiian versions of the law that is material to its interpretation. Recommendation here is to pass with an amendment.

We'll amend the HRS section one dash 13 to retain when we amend the this bill to retain the current language in one dash 13 that English and Hawaiian are the official languages of Hawaii. The bill said that they would be the official language of Hawaii, but they are the official language languages of Hawaii. And then we'll also put on a different band date, 03/22/2075. Questions or concerns? If not, Vice Chair.

HB 2433 HD1. Recommendation is to pass with amendments. Any no votes or reservations? And none, the measure passes.

K. Thank you. Next up is HB 2503. This authorizes civil asset forfeiture related to fireworks offenses that can constitute felonies. Recommendation here is to accept the AG's technical amendment clarifying that only felonies trigger forfeiture.

Questions or concerns? If not, Vice Chair.

HB 25 03 HD1 SD1 recommendations passed with amendments. Any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measure is adopted.

Thank you. Next up is HB 2505 relating to assist community treatment, verifies the community mental health outpatient programs that have agreed to provide mental health services to a defendant as part of an assisted community treatment order may prepare a cert a certificate for assisted community treatment and provide the certification certificate to defendant and may file an assisted community treatment petition with the family court. Recommendation here is to pass unamended. Yes. Unamended.

Unamended? Okay.

Unless you wanna change it.

The Department of Health proposed amendments that they gave it to me pretty late, so I told them to put it in for this one.

Oh, I don't know. Can do you know what they are?

It it's listed on their testimony.

Okay. I mean, otherwise, it's just gonna go to conference. It'll be.

Yeah That's fine. Put in there. It's fine.

Let's just go with unamended then Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Other concerns or questions? If not, Vice Chair.

HB 2505 HD1 SD1 recommendation to pass as is. Any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measure is adopted.

Okay. Next up is HB 2540. This prohibits with certain exceptions to use of facial coverage, coverings, and requires visible identification by law enforcement officers in their vehicles and the forms of their duties and does a number of other things. Require state and county law enforcement agencies to establish policies regarding state and county cooperation with federal civil immigration enforcement prohibits law enforcement officers from relying and stop them required by the civil person.

Civil immigration statuses establishes criminal offenses for use of a mask or facial covering by a law enforcement officer, lack of visual identification, unauthorized civil integration interrogation.

K. Recommendation here is another long one. Okay. So it's long, so bear with me. So we'll recast note of provisions in in Section one thirty nine a as mandatory police as mandatory policy terms.

Place section replace page 6 line 414 with a requirement that no an opaque facial covering may only be used when no other reasonable alternative exists and assess these documented contemporaneously or seems practical thereafter. And the identification required on its policy remains visible unless an express exemption in paragraph three applies to the identification requirements.

Requirement that no supervisor shall knowingly allow law enforcement officer or the person supervisor's command to violate state law or agency policy regarding the use of facial coverings and display of of identification on the officer or vehicle. Then a section on will make making criminal make criminal exemptions match policy exemptions.

Replace page 12, line 13 to 19 with the sections from that apply to a law enforcement officer who is engaged and authorized undercover assignment or operation or related duties and support an undercover assignment or operation authorized by supervising personnel or court order engaged in an active tactical operation where protective gear is required for safe physical safety using protective equipment as required by epical I'm sorry.

But using protective equipment as required by applicable occupational health and safety law using a facial covering to protect identity during prosecution prosecution as authorized by law or court order or a plainclothes officer designated by the officer's agency provided that the officer may wear a facial covering only when within the eyesight of another officer from the same agency who's unmasked while a masked plainclothes officer performs official duties.

We'll add a positive definition of mask or facial covering, which I don't think I need to read out and no. Okay. We'll just leave that one as add a positive definition of mask or facial covering. And then we'll simplify the vague Section one thirty nine b standards.

Again, I don't think I need to read that one out. And we'll remove our narrow 353 c to the department of law enforcement only. And we'll replace sections 10 seven ten b with suggestions by the AG. Seven 17 b would be unauthorized civil immigration arrest or detention.

The person commits the offense of unauthorized civil immigration arrest or detention if the person is a law enforcement officer acting under color of law who intentionally or knowingly acts beyond the scope of the law enforcement officer's lawful authority by initiating or prolonging any stop detention or arrest for the purpose of determining or enforcing the person's civil immigration status when the law enforcement officer lacks reasonable suspicion based on specific and predictable facts and the person is unlawfully per The United States.

Unauthorized civil immigration arrest or detention is a misdemeanor. Purpose of this section will add a definition of civil immigration status and reasonable suspicion. We'll delete the definition of interrogate and also amend the fine findings on pages three line one to two to change the offense offense captioned from unauthorized civil immigration integrations, arrest or detention to unauthorized civil immigration or Yep. Yeah. Just taking out the immigration.

And we'll clarify in unified law enforcement agency. Law enforcement agency means any county police department, the Department of Law Enforcement, Department of attorney general, division of conservation and resource enforcement, or the Department of Land and Natural Resources, and any other state or county health body to impose law enforcement officers in any federal law enforcement agency. And and that's it. And we have prior concerns from both both previous chairs. So questions or concerns?

If not, Vice Chair.

On HB 2540 HD2 SD1 recommendations to pass with amendments. Any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measure is adopted.
