URGING THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO MAKE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ON MILITARY INSTALLATIONS IN HAWAII ACCESSIBLE TO ALL HAWAII RESIDENTS.
This House Resolution (HR 200) urges the U.S. Department of Defense to make recreational facilities on military installations in Hawaii accessible to all Hawaii residents. It specifically requests access to facilities like Hale Koa Hotel, Bellows Air Force Station, Pililā'au Army Recreation Center, and others currently restricted to military personnel. The resolution asks the DoD to develop guidelines for safe public access, referencing successful models from other states. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change current access policies but formally requests the Department of Defense to consider expanding access.
