Hawaii Senate
The Senate of Hawaii ( Hawaii State Senate ) is the upper house of the Hawaii State Legislature , the legislature of the US state of Hawaii .
The Chamber of Parliament is composed of 25 senators, each representing an electoral district. The MPs are each elected for four-year terms; there is no limit to the terms of office. The predecessor of the chamber was the House of Nobles at the time of the Kingdom of Hawaii . Like most state legislatures in the United States , the Chamber is designed to be part-time, so senators often have active employment outside of government.
The Senate boardroom, along with the House of Representatives, is located in the Hawaii State Capitol in the capital, Honolulu . He has been there since March 15, 1969. Before Governor John Anthony Burns ' decision to build a new Capitol Building, the Hawaii State Senate met in the ʻIolani Palace .
