It’s 3 p.m. on Day 60 of the 2012 Hawaii Legislature, and lawmakers are obviously weary … and punchy.

Speaker Calvin Say just verbally reprimanded Rep. Cynthia Thielen regarding a motion to recommit — i.e., kill — Senate BIll 2424, concerning Labor Department regulation of professional employer organizations. Say says Thielen was commenting on the bill and not the motion, a no-no.

Karl Rhoads, chair of House Labor, says the bill had plenty of hearings, but Thielen thinks a lot of folks don’t appreciate what’s been put in the bill

As punishment of sorts to his members, the speaker ordered a roll vote on the motion, which proved to not have enough votes: 20 ayes, 30 noes, 1 excused.

So, the House will vote on the matter.

Still to come: the DLNR Taser training bill. Now effectively moot: the transient-oriented development bill that was killed about an hour ago in the Senate.
