HCR 95 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO POST PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION ON ITS WEBSITE PERTAINING TO CHANGES TO GUN SAFETY AND STORAGE LAWS.

This resolution requests Hawaii's Department of Education to post online updates about changes to gun safety and storage laws on its public website. It aims to provide students with current information on secure firearm storage requirements, without creating new legal obligations. The resolution does not alter existing laws but asks the education department to share existing legal updates with students. It is a procedural request, not a binding legislative measure.
