Hawaii lawmakers to vote on several bills as session ends
HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii lawmakers are expected to vote on a slew of bills as this year's legislative session wraps up this week.
Among the bills up for votes Tuesday are a bill that would ban sunscreen that contains oxybenzone as a means to protect coral reefs, legislation that would prohibit licensed professional counselors from attempting to change the sexual orientation of minors and a bill that would test the implementation of all-mail elections with a pilot program in Kauai County in 2020.
The Democratic-controlled Legislature is also expected to cast ballots on a measure that would establish in state law selected provisions of President Barack Obama's health care law in case "Obamacare" is ever repealed at the federal level.
