HCR 100 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE STATE OF HAWAII TO REQUIRE THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP THAT ADMINISTERS THE MANDATORY HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION TRAINING TO EMPLOYEES DEMONSTRATE ADEQUATE COMPETENCY IN LGBTQ+ (LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, QUEER, AND MORE IDENTITIES) IDENTITY AND CULTURALLY SPECIFIC GENDER IDENTITY RELEVANT TO HAWAIʻI.

HCR 100 is a concurrent resolution requesting Hawaii state agencies to require training administrators to demonstrate competency in LGBTQ+ identities and culturally specific gender terms relevant to Hawaiʻi. It specifically lists terms like mähO (Hawaii/Tahiti), fa'afafine (Samoa), and fakaleiti (Tonga) as part of this competency. The resolution aims to improve workplace inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees by ensuring training covers culturally relevant terminology and practices. It does not create new law but asks agencies to adopt this standard for mandatory harassment and discrimination training.
