A resolution designating February 2024 as "Hawaiian Language Month" or "'Olelo Hawai'i Month".

SRES 546 is a Senate resolution designating February 2024 as "Hawaiian Language Month" or "'Ōlelo Hawai'i Month." It recognizes the cultural significance of the Hawaiian language (Ōlelo Hawai'i) and its revitalization efforts, including state-level policies like Hawaii's 1978 constitutional recognition of the language. The resolution symbolically encourages nationwide celebration of the language through community activities, aligning with existing federal and state commitments to Indigenous language preservation. It does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal acknowledgment of ongoing cultural efforts.
