SR 133 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

URGING CONGRESS TO TAKE IMMEDIATE AND DECISIVE ACTION TO SUPPORT MIDDLE- AND LOWER-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS IN AMERICA.

This Senate Resolution urges the U.S. Congress to take immediate action to support middle- and lower-income households by addressing several critical national issues. The bill specifically requests that Congress implement universal affordable health care, enact gun control measures, invest in mental health resources, fund public health initiatives, and improve traffic safety infrastructure. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or allocate funds but serves as a formal recommendation to the federal government and the President. The document highlights concerns about economic hardship, housing shortages, and social disparities as the primary reasons for these requests.
