#final bill signing hawaii

Senator J. Kalani English of Maui, who is a member of the Senate Committee on Hawaiian Affairs said he was saddened by the governor’s decision to veto the measure; but vowed to continue work in further evaluating how the Hawaiian language can be appropriately incorporated into state government.

Today is the deadline for Governor Neil Abercrombie to sign measures into law, veto them, or allow the bills to become law without his signature.
