Bill > HR109

This Resolution requests the Governor and the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu to confirm that the Safe Access Oahu program, which required businesses like restaurants, bars, and gyms to verify customers' and employees' COVID-19 vaccination status or a recent negative test result, will not be extended beyond its scheduled end date of March 5, 2022. The program was initially implemented to combat COVID-19 infections, particularly the Delta and Omicron variants, but the Resolution notes that its repeated extensions and retroactive application have caused confusion and hardship for local businesses, which have already been significantly impacted by the pandemic.
