I don't have 20 posts, so I can't post a link, but below is some quotes from the article.

The bill says unmarried, unrelated couples may have a judge or clergy solemnize their civil union, which will provide the same responsibilities and benefits of marriage under state law.
The bill passed the full Senate 19-6. The six no votes were Sens. Donna Kim, Will Espero, Ron Kouchi, Mike Gabbard, Sam Slom and Donovan Delacruz.

After Friday's vote, the measure moves to the state House, where, leaders said, it is also expected to pass with a wide margin after some technical amendments.

Let's see if the bill passes in the State House.

State of Hawaii also allows public employees to enroll their domestic partners in their medical plans. Public employees can also take family leave for their domestic partners.
