AI Summary

This Resolution urges the Department of Health to make the Team 6B contact tracing team permanent staff and to hire additional individuals from Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities, recognizing that these groups have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and have historically faced health inequities. The resolution highlights that Team 6B has been effective in providing culturally appropriate outreach and services in the communities' primary languages, and that hiring from these communities has successfully reduced case numbers and improved data collection. The Department of Health is also requested to develop a diverse hiring plan and report its progress to the Legislature.
