Convention of States is 'Live' in Hawaii Senate

Eight Hawaii Senators now support the Convention of States resolution.


Senators Harimoto and Gabbard remain consistant and reliable sponsors of Convention of States.

Amidst four busy weeks of committee hearings, eight state Senators found time to support our Convention of State resolution in Hawaii's 2018 session.

Now officially filed as SR16 and SCR33, these applications requesting a 'convention to propose amendments' to limit the jurisdiction of the federal government officially dovetail with their House companions, HR7/HCR5.

Six of the supporting senators continued their 2017 sponsorship while two senators returned as sponsors from the 2016 session.  

Several stalwart Senators chose to be Introducers (prime sponsors) for the 2018 session:
