Bill > SCR49

This concurrent resolution requests the Hawaii Department of Education to provide students with information about changes to gun safety and storage laws, in response to concerns about the risks associated with unsecured firearms. The resolution highlights that unsecured or improperly stored firearms contribute to accidental injuries, deaths, and potential theft, with a particular emphasis on the increased risk to children. The lawmakers note that Hawaii and other states have been developing or implementing secure storage laws to prevent unauthorized access to firearms. The resolution specifically asks the Department of Education to educate students about these legal changes and urges the transmission of this request to the Chairperson of the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Education. By requesting this informational outreach, the resolution aims to promote awareness and potentially reduce firearm-related accidents and incidents involving children and youth.
