Bill > HR91

This Resolution formally 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 on Oahu, where residents often lack opportunities to voice their perspectives on issues like environmental concerns, emergency planning, and housing. The council would aim to foster better coordination and dialogue between federal entities, state and county governments, and local communities. The Resolution specifies that the Governor should invite representatives from various neighborhood boards, the Governor's Military Affairs Liaison, representatives from the Board of Energy, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the Department of Health, as well as representatives from Hawaiian cultural and environmental organizations, and members from both the State Senate and House of Representatives to participate on this advisory council.
