The Senate approved final reading of a disaster‑recovery measure and a water‑pollution measure, adopted two concurrent resolutions, and confirmed a set of governor‑transmitted nominees during a floor session, with several members registering no votes or reservations and one item set for a later final reading.

Senate leaders announced passage of Conference Committee Report number 1 for “Senate Bill 12 96, conference draft 1, relating to disaster recovery” and Conference Committee Report number 2 for “Senate Bill 13 18, conference draft 1, relating to water pollution.” Each bill passed final reading by unanimous consent with roll calls recorded as “24 ayes” on the floor for both measures.

The measures matter because the disaster‑recovery and water‑pollution descriptions indicate substantive policy areas the Senate finalized on the floor; the transcript does not include the bills’ full text or fiscal details, which were not specified during the recorded floor statements.

Separately, the chamber considered final adoption of Senate Concurrent Resolution 121, House Draft 1. Senator Wakai moved adoption and Senator Descartes seconded. Senator Moriwaki said, “I will be voting no. I have written remarks that I'd like inserted into the journal.” Senators recorded as registering a no vote in the transcript include Moriwaki, DeCorte, Fevella and Ihara; Senators Kim and Gabbard were noted as having reservations. The resolution was carried and recorded as adopted.

The Senate also moved for adoption of House Concurrent Resolution 96 by unanimous consent; the motion was carried by voice vote with no objections recorded.

On nominations, the chair read governor's messages numbers 13 to 20 transmitting proposed conference drafts to fund tentative agreements for various collective bargaining units and other appointment materials. The chamber recorded that nominees transmitted in those governor's messages were confirmed; the clerk announced "the nominees for said governor's messages have been confirmed." A roll call earlier in the session recorded “24 present, 1 excused.” The transcript identifies at least two confirmed appointees by name: "GM72 is Ken Kawahara" described as a new member for RCUH, and a newly confirmed Regent named Joshua who "has been serving on the board since July of this past year" and will serve until 2026; additional nomination details were not specified.

On a separate procedural motion, Senator San Buenaventura moved that the Senate reconsider its previous action disagreeing to House amendments and agree to set amendments for SB1448 SD2; Senator Wakai seconded. The motion carried and one‑day notice was given for final reading of SB1448 HD2.

A miscellaneous communication from the joint presiding officers — identified in the record as Ronald D. Cauci, president of the Senate, and Nadine K. Nakamura, speaker of the House — transmitted a legislative communication extending the conference negotiation deadline for fiscal bills from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.; the communication was filed.

Before adjourning, Senator Wakai moved that the Senate stand in recess, leaving the journal open until midnight for receipt of conference committee reports recommending passage on final reading, and that the Senate reconvene at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 30. Senator DeCorte seconded; the motion carried.

What the record does not specify in the transcript are bill texts, fiscal notes, committee reports’ substantive language or the total numerical vote counts for the concurrent resolution beyond the members who announced no votes; those details were not specified on the floor during the recorded remarks.
