URGING THE GOVERNOR TO CREATE A TASK FORCE ON MILITARY PARTNERSHIP TO DEVELOP AND STRENGTHEN THE PUBLIC-MILITARY RELATIONSHIP IN HAWAII.

This resolution urges Hawaii's Governor to establish a task force focused on improving public-military relations in the state. It directly affects Hawaii residents and the military community, particularly those living near military installations on Oahu. The task force would include the Governor, legislative leaders, Honolulu's mayor, and the military commander, and must consider ways the public can benefit from military resources like water, recreational facilities, housing, and job opportunities. The resolution requires the task force to submit findings and recommendations to the Legislature by late 2025. It is non-binding and aims to address community concerns following incidents like the Red Hill fuel leaks.
