Bill > HB2736

This bill adopts, establishes, and designates the "shaka" gesture as the official gesture of the State of Hawaii. The shaka, which generally involves extending the thumb and smallest finger while holding the three middle fingers curled and gesturing in salutation, is recognized as a key brand symbol for Hawaii that has originated and developed within the state. The bill aims to secure recognition of Hawaii as the shaka's place of origin, preserve the meaning of the shaka as originated in Hawaii, preserve Hawaii's brand association with the gesture, and share the aloha spirit around the world. The bill takes effect on July 1, 3000.
