HR 91 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 House Resolution (HR 91) requests Hawaii's Department of Education to provide students with information about changes to gun safety and storage laws. It does not create new laws but asks the Department to share existing updates on secure storage requirements, which directly affects students in Hawaii public schools. The resolution cites concerns about unsecured firearms increasing risks to children and notes Hawaii has existing or proposed secure storage laws. (Note: This is a procedural resolution, not a bill, so the summary is concise as required.)
