REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH INFORMATION PERTAINING TO CHANGES TO GUN SAFETY AND STORAGE LAWS.

SCR 49 is a non-binding resolution requesting Hawaii's Department of Education to inform students about changes to state gun safety and storage laws. It directly affects students by providing them with updates on legal requirements for securing firearms, while indirectly addressing households with firearms by emphasizing the need for awareness of storage regulations. The resolution cites concerns about unsecured firearms increasing risks to children and notes Hawaii has secure storage laws. It does not create new law but asks the education department to share information on existing or upcoming changes to storage requirements. This is a procedural request, not a policy change.
