Twelve Hawaii Representatives signed on to the Convention of States Resolution HR 112.
For the second time in the same week, the Convention of States resolution was filed in the Hawaii legislature. Meeting the submission deadline, House resolutions HR112 and its companion HCR131 were signed and submitted by 12 House members and posted online March 6, 2020.
Eleven of this year's supportive legislators are returning sponsors, while a new supporter was gained through the hard work of prime sponsor Rep. Sam Kong and the Hawaii team's seven weekly capitol visits promoting support for Convention of States.
Thanks and "Mahalos" are encouraged for each sponsor!
