HONOLULU (AP) — The deadline is approaching for Hawaii Gov. David Ige to tell lawmakers which bills he plans to veto.
There are several major bills left unsigned, including a plan to set up a system of medical marijuana dispensaries.
Ige has to let the Legislature know on Monday which bills he won’t approve. There are more than 100 outstanding bills and advocates are eager to hear their fates.
The governor hasn’t yet announced his decision on whether to allow transgender individuals to more easily switch gender on their birth certificates.
He also hasn’t indicated whether he will veto a bill to ban sex trafficking in Hawaii.
Proposals to mandate insurance coverage for autism, ban powdered alcohol and bring an end to an ethanol requirement are also up in the air.
