EspañolHAWAII SENATE
(Redirected from Hawaii State Senate)
The 'Hawaii State Senate' is the upper chamber of the Hawaii State Legislature which governs from Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. There are twenty-five members from various electoral districts. It is led by the President of the Senate elected from the membership of the Senate, currently Colleen Hanabusa. The forerunner of the Hawaii State Senate during the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii was the House of Nobles. Senators are elected to four-year terms and are not subject to term limits. Like in most state legislatures in the United States, the Hawaii State Senate is a part-time body and senators often have active careers outside of government. The lower chamber of the legislature is the Hawaii State House of Representatives.
The Hawaii State Senate has been meeting at the Hawaii State Capitol in downtown Honolulu since March 15, 1969. Previous to the decision of Governor John A. Burns to build the new Capitol building, the Hawaii State Senate met in Iolani Palace.
