Bill > HCR113

This Concurrent Resolution requests the Governor of Hawaii and the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu to confirm that the Safe Access Oahu program, which required proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test to enter certain businesses and was set to expire on March 5, 2022, will not be extended beyond that date without good reason. The program, initially implemented to combat the Delta variant and later extended due to the Omicron variant, had placed significant burdens on local businesses, many of which were already struggling due to the pandemic. The resolution highlights concerns that indefinite extensions of such emergency measures can lead to public confusion and distrust.
