EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS ADMISSIONS POLICY AND URGING THE HAWAII ATTORNEY GENERAL TO SUBMIT AN AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF TO DEFEND THE ADMISSIONS POLICY IN ANY FUTURE LAWSUIT.

This House Concurrent Resolution (HCR 15) expresses legislative support for Kamehameha Schools' admissions policy, which prioritizes Native Hawaiian students as a remedy for historical educational disparities. It specifically requests the Hawaii Attorney General to file an "amicus curiae" (friend of the court) brief defending this policy in any future lawsuits challenging it. The resolution notes that Kamehameha Schools are privately funded and distinct from the 2023 Supreme Court case involving Harvard, which did not apply to them. It does not alter the admissions policy itself but urges state legal support for its defense.
