The Senate line up remains mostly intact to allow members continuity in their committee work as the Senate has been preparing for the upcoming session.

  • Women's Legislative Caucus and Women Honolulu City Councilmembers
    Women’s Legislative Caucus STATE CAPITOL HONOLULU, HAWAII 96813 NEWS RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Thelma Dreyer, 808-586-6261 Date: September 17, 2014 REVISED HPD CHIEF CANCELS MEETING WITH HAWAII WOMEN'S LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS AND WOMEN HONOLULU CITY COUNCILMEMBERS HONOLULU – The Hawaii Women's Legislative Caucus today announced that they received a call from the Honolulu Police Department's (HPD) Chief of Police’s office canceling Thursday’s meeting with the Women’s State Legislative Caucus and three women members of the Honolulu City Council. A representative of the Women’s Caucus spoke with the office of Chief of Police Louis M. Kealoha to ask that the commitment to meet with the women on Thursday be honored. “The purpose of Thursday’s meeting was for the Women’s Legislative Caucus and the three women city councilmembers to have the opportunity to speak with Chief Kealoha directly," said Senate President Donna Mercado Kim, a member of the Women’s Caucus. "We hoped to work cooperatively with the police to strengthen efforts to end domestic violence and keep victims safe. We wanted to discuss concerns and questions about HPD’s internal policies and procedures regarding domestic violence cases, especially when one of their own officers is a suspect that has been brought to us by victims’ service providers." “The Women’s Legislative Caucus and women Honolulu City Councilmembers asked for the opportunity to discuss these issues with Chief Kealoha prior to the public informational briefing so that he could be prepared to respond fully in public, and to, hopefully, open the door to improved partnerships and outcomes in domestic violence cases," said Senate President Kim.

  • The Twenty-Sixth Legislature Regular Session of 20 II HOUSE OF
    The Twenty-Sixth Legislature Regular Session of20II HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Committee on Health Rep. Ryan 1. Yamane, Chair Rep. Dee Morikawa, Vice Chair State Capitol, Conference Room 329 Tuesday, March 22, 2011; 9:00 a.m. STATEMENT OF THE ILWU LOCAL 142 ON S.B.1086, SD1 RELATING TO CONSUMER INFORMATION The ILWU Local 142 strongly supports S.B. 1086, SD1, which requires sliced, sandwich-style bread products that have been baked and then frozen to be labeled "previously frozen" and prohibits bread that has been frozen to be labeled or advertised as "fresh." The II.WU represents almost 300 members who work at Love's Bakery in production, driver-sales, office clerical work, and the thrift stores. Many ofthem have worked at the bakery for many years under various owners. Today, the company is owned and managed by a local team that invested its own money to keep this manufacturing company viable. For 160 years, Love's Bakery has put fresh sandwich bread on our table. It was only in the last decade that previously frozen bread took over a greater share ofthe market. However, the consumer was never informed that the previously frozen bread was baked on the mainland, then frozen and later thawed before sale. The consumer did not have the information needed to make an informed choice. This lack ofinformation has given previously frozen bread an unfair advantage over fresh bread. S.B. 1086, SDI will require that packaging ofpreviously frozen and thawed sliced, sandwich-style bread be imprinted with the words "previously frozen." With this information, consumers can ask their own questions, then make an informed decision about which bread to purchase.

  • TO: the Honorable John M. Mizuno, Chair House Committee on Health and Human Services
    DAVID Y. IGE PANKAJ BHANOT GOVERNOR DIRECTOR CATHY BETTS DEPUTY DIRECTOR STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES P. O. Box 339 Honolulu, Hawaii 96808 February 13, 2018 TO: The Honorable John M. Mizuno, Chair House Committee on Health and Human Services The Honorable Aaron Ling Johanson, Chair House Committee on Labor and Public Employment FROM: Pankaj Bhanot, Director SUBJECT: HB 2204 - RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES Hearing: Tuesday, February 13, 2018, 8:35 a.m. Conference Room 329, State Capitol DEPARTMENT’S POSITION: The Department of Human Services (DHS) supports the intent of this bill and provides comments. PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to establish a task force that shall develop a restructured welfare payment system; re-establishes the exit and retention bonus program to encourage welfare recipients to transition back into the workforce; and appropriates funds. The Financial Assistance Advisory Council (FAAC) was established in accordance with section 346-14.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The purpose of the FAAC is to render advice and information relating to the financial assistance programs. The proposed task force will be duplicative of what is already established in the Hawaii Revised Statutes. The department suggests that the committees consider utilizing the FAAC for this purpose, rather than establishing a task force. Regarding the exit and retention bonus program, in October 2006, DHS implemented the “Reward Works” initiative which included the exit and retention bonus payments. The bonuses were based on a family’s average number of employment hours per week. The Reward Works initiative ended February 1, 2012 because DHS did not have funds to fiscally sustain the exit and retention bonuses.

The discussion will be moderated by Beth-Ann Kozlovich, Executive Producer Talk Shows, Hawaii Public Radio. All of us want to live in a high quality, affordable, people-friendly environment with open space, quality housing, and even preserve farmland for sustainable agriculture. Urban design can be a grass-roots activity, with communities participating with professionals in the design of their local environment. How do we explain the growing affordable housing shortage while luxury condominiums sprout for the wealthy? We'll ask the panelists to bring us up to date both on how Honolulu has been planned in the past and to what extent citizens have participated. But more important, since we are advocates: How can citizens participate in urban planning so they don't feel they are simply the victims of it? How do we guarantee walkable streets, open spaces, and an environment welcoming to children, adults and senior citizens? And finally, how might we become involved in current and future planning of our own living environment? Let's learn from our panel how this might be accomplished in Honolulu.
