SR 119 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

STRONGLY SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FLOATING DRYDOCK AT PEARL HARBOR.

This is a Senate resolution (not a bill), expressing Hawaii's legislative support for constructing a floating drydock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but formally advocates for the project to the federal government. The resolution highlights the drydock's potential to enhance Navy maintenance capacity, support defense operations, and boost Hawaii's maritime economy. It directs the Senate to send certified copies to the President, Defense Secretary, Navy leadership, and Hawaii's congressional delegation. The resolution serves as a political endorsement of the project's strategic importance, not a binding policy change.
