This is why the Senate will be making history by holding a special two-day session in someplace besides the designated Senate chambers in the state Capitol. The House and Senate chambers are used by the Office of Elections ballot counting operations and the elections folks must hold everything in place in case of a challenge and recount.
Meanwhile, the Senate has a two-day session scheduled Monday and Tuesday to confirm Melvin Fujino as a Big Island district court judge.
The temporary Senate chambers are pictured below: the Capitol auditorium. Monday and Tuesday sessions start at 10 a.m. Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, in a memo to the senators, said the lower portion of the auditorium will be for senators. Upper area will be for the public.
“All usual protocols including dress code will be enforced,” Hanabusa notes in her memo.
