Hawaii lawmakers urge DOE to fix school bus driver shortage

Due to a shortage of bus drivers with the required commercial driver’s licenses, the department temporarily suspended routes in Central Oahu and East Hawaii island to prioritize transportation for students with disabilities, as mandated by federal law.

Quote: State Rep. Trish La Chica (D, Waipio-Mililani) expressed her frustration that the issue of bus driver shortages has persisted for years and continues to affect families and students. "It’s an ongoing crisis," La Chica said. "And then yet, we were all caught off guard two days before the school year started to not have received any type of outreach, any type of planning, any type of consideration of communities. … Hundreds of families like that were experiencing severe disruptions."

DOE: Bus companies said they’d be ready for school year

Just days before school started, the DOE announced the suspension of nearly 150 bus routes on Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island due to driver shortages.

Quote: "This school bus crisis happened last year," said Rep. Trish La Chica (D), Education Committee Vice Chair. "Happened the year prior to that. So the issue is not new. Yet we are really struggling to understand why it happened yet again this year."

Green enacts deepfake media regulations

Last week, Gov. Josh Green signed into law Senate Bill 2686, which prohibits and penalizes the distribution of "materially deceptive media" and provides for remedies to parties targeted by such media.

"While artificial intelligence holds tremendous potential for innovation, the threat posed by manipulated media cannot be underestimated," said state Rep. Trish La Chica. "Deepfakes can distort our perception of reality, harming not just political candidates but any individual targeted by this technology."

Female carpenters enjoy good pay and mentoring

La Chica plans to introduce a bill to expand similar, pre-apprentice training programs in Hawaii high schools to help create more housing and “because Hawaii’s future and the ability for our youth to remain in Hawaii relies on an educated and skilled workforce. We’re going to need thousands of more jobs and we want them to be local jobs.”

She wants to retrofit more Hawaii high schools to provide on-site, hands-on training while partnering students with the construction industry to provide paid internships.

“We want to invest in their future by being able to start a life and career here with as little debt as possible,” La Chica said.

Army, DOT clear Kipapa Gulch

This week’s cleanup was the result of a meeting coordinated by state Rep. Trish La China and involving McGunegle and Directorate of Emergency Services Director Col.

Public transit commute light on suspended school bus routes

La Chica found it took over 1-1/2 hours to traverse the 8 miles from Koa Ridge to Pearl City High. And even though she started walking from Koa Ridge to the nearest bus stop at 6:30 a.m. Friday, she arrived on campus at a time that would mean a tardy mark for a student: 11 minutes after the 8 a.m. bell to start classes. She made a video documenting her excursion and distributed the link in her constituent newsletter.

Hawai'i House lawmakers approve 77 Senate bills before second crossover deadline

The state House of Representatives today passed an additional 77 Senate Bills ahead of Thursday?s second crossover deadline. These bills now head back to the Senate for their consideration.

If the Senate disagrees to amendments made by the House, the bills will be negotiated in conference committees. To date, 213 Senate bills have been amended by the House, and crossed over to the Senate after passing third reading.

Key measures passed by the House today include bills relating to electronic smoking devices, child welfare services, a state telework pilot monitoring system, firearms, and destination management in Hawai?i.

"[SB975] is a measure that would regulate e-cigarettes as they remain to be the only tobacco product unregulated in the state. This measure would subject e-cigarettes to the current regulations that apply to cigarettes and other tobacco products. This includes taxation, the restriction of online sales and requiring permitting and licensing. This is our only remaining bill to regulate e-cigarettes," said Representative Trish La Chica (D-37, Portions of Mililani Town, Mililani Mauka, Koa Ridge, and Waipi'o Gentry).
