REQUESTING A COMMITMENT TO A NUCLEAR-FREE, SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.
HR 89 is a non-binding House Resolution (not a bill) passed by Hawaii's House of Representatives in 2025. It formally commits the legislature to uphold Hawaii's constitutional ban on nuclear power (Article XI, Section 8) and oppose nuclear energy development, citing risks like transport hazards, geological instability, and the state's existing clean energy goals under Act 97 (2015). The resolution directs certified copies to state agencies, county officials, and the Governor to align with Hawaii's nuclear-free policy. It does not create new laws or directly affect residents, but reinforces existing constitutional and policy positions.
