The measures recorded in the hearing record include ACR/HCR 25 HD 1, HCR 200, and HCR 27.

ACR/HCR 25 HD 1: The Department of Agriculture and the Department of Land and Natural Resources submitted testimony and offered comments. The measure requests the Department of Agriculture to include a statement on desecration laws in the plant and animal declaration form. The chair recommended passing the measure with technical amendments; the committee recorded votes including the chair and vice chair voting aye, with other senators excused; the motion was adopted. The transcript does not specify the exact wording of the technical amendments.

HCR 200: The Department of Agriculture noted support for the intent; the Hawaii Cattlemen's Council testified in support, calling access both an economic and environmental issue. The chair recommended passing HCR 200 with technical amendments; the committee recorded votes adopting the recommendation. The transcript does not provide the full text of the amendments.

HCR 27: The measure requests Hawaii's congressional delegation petition the U.S. Department of Agriculture to address export-parity issues for Hawaii.

Stephanie Easley, representing the coordinating group on alien pest species, told the committees that counties play a large role in invasive-species prevention and response and that the measure could \"catalyze\" county plans. Easley said a court decision has created an implied preemption that prevents counties from regulating noxious weeds, pests or infested materials and noted that \"there are no state level programs to address invasive plants that are already present in the state.\" She recommended expanding county plans to identify legislative solutions and alternatives to address gaps.

Department of Agriculture representatives and testimony from the Department of Land and Natural Resources were on record offering comments in support or with suggestions; Louis Crosier and others filed written testimony in support. Committee chairs said they had conferred and recommended passing HCR 42 unamended. The committees adopted the recommendation by recorded vote.

The record does not include specific statutory language to change preemption or an action timeline for counties. HCR 42 asks counties to develop plans and explicitly permits inclusion of proposed legislative changes at both state and county levels; the transcript does not specify funding, enforcement mechanisms, or a deadline for plans to be completed.

Committee action was to pass HCR 42, HD 1, as recommended.","Lawmakers passed HCR 42, which urges counties to develop biosecurity plans; testimony from invasive-species experts highlighted a court-created implied preemption that limits county regulation of noxious weeds and recommended including proposed state and county legislative changes in local plans.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6076814,"Committees pass resolution to reconvene working group on training facility contamination after residents cite lead concerns",310,940000,1250000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2967452-79c58a4ff2d5b40944a2a4d94b5fdbb9&start=940&end=1250","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2967452-79c58a4ff2d5b40944a2a4d94b5fdbb9/thumbnail_940000.jpg","/articles/6076814/Hawaii/Committees-pass-resolution-to-reconvene-working-group-on-training-facility-contamination-after-residents-cite-lead-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6076814-66987b92e147995c89fe76b8e9663871/orig.mp4?Expires=1770942387&Signature=Q1qmuKmy8EidhIy6MgxS8ioS5BfLx9W8UH5LJ~DT2tjvuvrBgdreyxiBwhkr8~MxUnNwHThm2OLJJCZtOqQtr7H1592uOl-L1YEJlmO784R2ElF6tVcDybKITdBGG65TPRKWX-63HbFlEzfxVCbtf8ukeb1qTWQVI92sGqmBksuHQJwVd6ZMnNME8dXcAT7sw0gWSWp8eaHcfNeYd6GAaiyrlKLEQijhCLy4lQVA5kTfNV0jaED8Ty2fGh0U8OnCP0WqDtz6~bP~YmTOUOaimr-80HashvzbxWkSh0RBxtnD7-wJoefs8twWfVIr4zyCPlUaVotqFYZki1XQQHf6gQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate committees on Health, Human Services and on Agriculture and Environment on April 11 passed HCR 28, a resolution requesting the reconvening of the working group established pursuant to House Resolution No. 18, HD 1 (Regular Session 2024), to continue work on water and air contamination and remediation arising from operation of the pool law range training facility.

The resolution was approved in joint decision making with both committee chairs voting aye and a set of senators recording affirmative votes. The chair announced the recommendation to \"pass as is,\" and the motion was adopted in both committees.

The measure drew multiple supporters during the public-testimony period. Wayne Tanaka offered brief support. Resident Liam Chin described living adjacent to the range and said testing has shown elevated contamination: \"multiple tests from Surfrider to the Marines themselves... confirmed extremely high levels of lead,\" and added that doctors had advised his family to relocate because of reproductive and child-health risks. Chin said the range abuts the beach park and that \"there's no invisible border keeping that in,\" urging the committee to reconvene the working group.

Committee members did not debate the measure at length in the hearing record. The chair called for decision making noting quorum on both committees and recommended passage without amendment. For the Health and Human Services side the record shows the chair and vice chair voting aye and Senator Hashimoto voting aye; Senators Keohokalole and Fevella were listed as excused. For Agriculture and Environment the record shows the chair and vice chair voting aye, Senator Rhoads voting aye, and Senators DeCoite and Agha excused. The committees recorded the motion as adopted.

The resolution instructs reconvening the previously established working group; the transcript does not specify a timeline, membership changes, or follow-up reporting requirements. Testimony cited tests by Surfrider Foundation and referred to tests by the Marines; the committee record does not incorporate those test results as committee findings and no additional testing or remediation funding was specified on the floor.

The committees took formal action to pass HCR 28; further steps, including any staff assignments, reporting schedule, or funding, were not specified in the hearing record.","The joint Health, Human Services and Agriculture & Environment committees passed HCR 28 to reconvene a working group created by House Resolution No. 18 (HD 1, 2024) to continue examining water and air contamination and remediation related to operations at a training facility. Testimony from residents cited high lead levels near Ewa Beach.","actionData","errors"]
