REQUESTING THE THIRTY-FOURTH LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII TO AMEND ITS INTERNAL RULES TO ELIMINATE THE FORMAL VOTE OPTION OF "WITH RESERVATIONS".

This bill is a concurrent resolution that asks the next Hawaii Legislature to remove the "with reservations" voting option from its internal rules. Currently, Hawaii is the only state where legislators can formally vote this way, which counts as a favorable vote but allows members to express partial disagreement. The resolution requests that future rules require legislators to choose only between "aye" or "no" votes on measures. This change would affect all members of the Hawaii State Senate and House of Representatives in the Thirty-Fourth Legislature and subsequent sessions. The bill does not alter how legislation is passed, only how individual votes are recorded and counted.
