Bill > HCR97

This Concurrent Resolution requests that the Governor of Hawaii establish a Citizen Advisory Council on Federal Affairs to address the significant impact of federal agencies and the U.S. Military on the state, particularly Oahu, where residents often lack opportunities to voice their perspectives on issues like environmental matters, emergency planning, and hiring. The resolution outlines that this council would include representatives from specific neighborhood boards, the Governor's Military Affairs Liaison, representatives from state departments and the University of Hawaii, cultural and environmental organizations, and members from both the State Senate and House of Representatives, aiming to foster better coordination and inclusive discussions between federal entities, state and local governments, and communities.
