Bill > SCR100

This concurrent resolution encourages the Board of Land and Natural Resources to rename Kalopa State Park on the Island of Hawaii to the Mark Nakashima Kalopa State Park in honor of Representative Mark Nakashima, a long-serving state legislator from District 1 who represented Hamakua and Hilo from 2008 until his death in 2024. The resolution highlights Nakashima's personal connection to the park, where he spent summers with his family, as well as his professional contributions, including serving as Chair of the House Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce and his involvement in community organizations like the Hamakua Lions Club and Hawaii Junior Chamber of Commerce. The resolution aims to memorialize Nakashima's leadership and commitment to the state by permanently recognizing his legacy through the park's renaming, and it directs that certified copies of the resolution be sent to the Chairperson of the Board of Land and Natural Resources and the Administrator of the Division of State Parks.
