Bill > SR96

This Resolution requests the establishment of a task force to investigate the practicality of changing street names that honor individuals with problematic historical backgrounds, such as those who owned slaves, engaged in racial or gender violence, undermined democratic rights, attempted to overthrow governments, or actively suppressed Hawaiian language and culture. The task force will identify streets that meet these criteria, assess the feasibility of renaming them, and consider input from affected communities and stakeholders, aiming to strike a balance between historical preservation and addressing past injustices, with a preliminary report due before the 2023 legislative session.
