REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO MAKE AVAILABLE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES TO THE PUBLIC DURING NON-PEAK HOURS AND NON-SCHOOL DAYS.

HCR 46 is a non-binding request urging Hawaii's Department of Education to make school recreational facilities (like pools, gyms, and fields) available to the public during non-peak hours and non-school days. It aims to improve access for residents, particularly in underserved rural and low-income communities facing barriers to recreational amenities. The resolution references existing rules requiring advance online applications but seeks to expand access beyond current practice. As a concurrent resolution, it does not create new law but asks the Department of Education to act on this recommendation.
