Requesting the Thirty-fourth Legislature of Hawaii to amend internal rules to eliminate the "with reservations" vote option.
The Hawaii State Legislature currently allows members to vote "aye," "no," or "with reservations" on measures. This bill requests the Thirty-fourth Legislature to amend its internal rules to eliminate the "with reservations" vote option, which is unique to Hawaii. The resolution highlights that this option allows legislators to straddle both sides of an issue, which is not typical in other states. The resolution will be sent to all elected members of the Legislature and the Senate Chief Clerk and House Chief Clerk.
