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 Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 10) urges Hawaii's Governor to protect transgender members of the Hawaii National Guard from a federal policy banning transgender military service. It opposes Executive Order 14163, which bars transgender individuals from serving and pauses gender-affirming care for active-duty members. The resolution specifically requests the Governor take action to allow qualified transgender service members to continue serving in the Hawaii National Guard. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change law but formally requests state-level advocacy against the federal policy.
