This bill designates September 2nd of each year as "Richard "Buffalo" Keaulana Day" in the state of Hawaii.

The bill provides background on Keaulana's life, achievements, and legacy, including his role as Makaha's chief lifeguard for over two decades, his induction into the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation's hall of fame, and his family's status as "Makaha's first family" in surfing. The purpose of this Act is to honor Keaulana's enduring legacy and impact on the community.
