Lawmakers overrode five of the governor’s vetoes on Tuesday, including a bill that will require disclosure of COVID-19 cases in public schools.

The preliminary list includes a measure that would alter the funding of the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

Gov. David Ige will decide who will represent Lanai, Molokai, Kahoolawe and parts of Maui.

Scott Saiki says he’s unsure if there will be any veto overrides, but Hawaii legislators need to make some technical budget fixes.

Gov. David Ige showed rare assertiveness when he announced his intent to veto just over two dozen bills.

The Hawaii governor is criticizing lawmakers’ failure to give the public or agencies a chance to comment before final votes on seven measures.

Some controversial measures will become law, including long-term state lease extensions and a new Aloha Stadium proposal.

DeCoite will serve out the rest of former Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English’s term.

The measures cover a range of issues focused on ocean conservation, resource management, regulation and enforcement.

But the tourism industry opposes a bill on Gov. David Ige’s desk that aims to reduce tourism through higher taxes and fees on visitors.
