HR 82 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

AFFIRMING THE SUPREMACY OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF HAWAII OVER SHARIA LAW.

This bill is a House Resolution that formally declares the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution and the Hawaii State Constitution over sharia law within Hawaii's legal system. It explicitly rejects the recognition, use, or enforcement of sharia law in Hawaii's courts or government operations. The resolution cites concerns about conflicts between sharia principles and American values regarding women's rights, religious tolerance, and individual freedoms. It directs copies of the resolution to the Governor and Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court to ensure official acknowledgment of this stance.
