As of this writing, the bill is faring poorly in the House despite overwhelming public testimony in favor and almost none opposed. The Senate version was passed on February 27th and hopefully will \u201ccross over\u201d to the House, giving us another \u201cbite at the apple.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Anyone wishing to join the Public Policy Committee please contact Alice Liu at alice.liu@madd.org<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mahalo to Hawaii Alcohol Policy Alliance, victims and victim survivors, community advocates, and volunteers for testifying on this important matter.
