Informing The Senate And Governor That The House Of Representatives Is Ready To Adjourn Sine Die.

Impact

The passage of this resolution marks the conclusion of the current legislative agenda and has significant implications regarding the laws and policies discussed or proposed during the session. Once the House adjourns sine die, no new bills can be introduced until the next session, effectively halting any ongoing legislative processes. This resolution underscores the administrative aspect of the legislative cycle but does not directly impact any specific laws or statutes.

Summary

House Resolution 227 (HR227) is a legislative measure from the State of Hawaii proposing that the House of Representatives is prepared to adjourn 'sine die', which means without setting a date for resumption. This type of resolution typically signifies the end of the legislative session, where no further business will be conducted until a new session begins. HR227 serves mainly as a formal notification to the Senate and the Governor that the House has concluded its affairs for the current legislative session.

Contention

Although HR227 is primarily a procedural measure, contention may arise surrounding the timing and handling of legislative business leading up to the adjournment. There may be members who feel that significant measures or issues have not been adequately addressed or resolved before concluding the session. However, since this resolution does not involve policy changes or direct legislative content, disputes related to HR227 are likely to focus on broader legislative priorities and concerns rather than specific provisions.
