URGING THE GOVERNOR TO TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT TRANSGENDER MEMBERS OF THE HAWAIʻI NATIONAL GUARD FROM DISCRIMINATORY FEDERAL POLICY AND PERMIT QUALIFIED TRANSGENDER SERVICE MEMBERS TO CONTINUE THEIR SERVICE.
This House Resolution (HR 3) urges Hawaii's Governor to protect transgender members of the Hawaii National Guard from federal policies banning transgender military service. It references Executive Order 14163, which bars transgender individuals with gender dysphoria or medical transition history from serving and pauses gender-affirming care. The resolution requests the Governor take action to allow qualified transgender service members to continue their military service in Hawaii. As a symbolic resolution (not a law), it does not change federal policy but expresses state support for affected service members.
