Inside the Capitol: Dead Bills, Dangerous Bills, and What’s Coming Next
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this week’s legislative update, Eva Andrade and former Representative Marcus Oshiro take you inside a pivotal moment at the Hawai‘i State Capitol as major deadlines reshape the future of key bills.
They break down what “second reading” really means and why this phase is one of the most important moments for citizen engagement. From conversion therapy laws and parental rights to marijuana legalization, gambling expansion, and free speech concerns, this episode walks through the bills that are still alive — and the ones that just died.
You’ll hear insider perspective on:
• Why some bills quietly disappear after key deadlines
• The truth behind “low-dose marijuana” proposals
• Growing concerns about gambling expansion in Hawai‘i
• Free speech implications of buffer-zone style laws
• What to watch next as floor votes approach
If you want a clear, faith-centered lens on fast-moving legislation — without the political spin — this episode will help you understand what’s happening and why your voice still matters.
