AI Summary

This Resolution requests that the State of Hawaii adopt a policy ensuring that any financial savings the state receives from the federal government covering 100% of the costs for Native Hawaiian health care services, a benefit extended through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), are specifically used to address health problems, or "health disparities," faced by Native Hawaiian communities.
