Hawaii Senate defers vote on Senate Bill 2760, schedules reconvening for Feb. 18

An unidentified presiding officer at a Hawaii Senate decision-making meeting recommended postponing action on Senate Bill 2760 for one day and adjourned the session. The officer said, "The recommendation is to defer action on this measure 1 more day," and announced the Senate would reconvene on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026, at 10:07 a.m. in Conference Room 229 at the Hawaii State Capitol.

The short session, convened Feb. 17, 2026, was labeled a decision-making agenda but produced no recorded motions, seconds, or roll-call votes in the transcript. No public testimony, committee debate, amendments, or recorded votes were noted. The presiding officer closed the meeting by stating it was adjourned.

By deferring, the Senate postponed any formal action on Senate Bill 2760 until the scheduled reconvening. The transcript does not specify who moved or seconded the recommendation, nor does it provide details of the bill's content or the reasons for the one-day postponement.

The body is set to meet again on Feb. 18, 2026, at 10:07 a.m. in Conference Room 229 to consider action on Senate Bill 2760. No further materials or votes were recorded in this session.
