State microbe legislation

In 2014, Wakai proposed SB3124 which attempted to establish Aliivibrio fischeri as the state microbe of [[Hawaii|HawaiШаблон:Okinai]].[14] This was opposing state representative James Tokioka's bill from the previous year, HB 293 HD1, to establish Flavobacterium akiainvivens as the state microbe.[15] Neither one succeeded. In 2017, legislation similar to the original 2013 F. akiainvivens bill was submitted in the HawaiШаблон:Okinai House of Representatives by Isaac Choy[16] and in the [[Hawaii Senate|HawaiШаблон:Okinai Senate]] by Brian Taniguchi.[17]
