REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR TO TAKE ANY ACTIONS NECESSARY TO REESTABLISH AN INTERISLAND FERRY SYSTEM IN THE STATE.
This House Resolution (HR 72) requests the Governor to take actions necessary to reestablish an interisland ferry system in Hawaii. It directly affects the Governor, state transportation officials, and residents and visitors who rely on inter-island travel. The resolution cites the previous Hawaii Superferry service (2007-2009) as a model and states that a new ferry system would provide an efficient, cost-friendly alternative to air and barge travel between islands. It does not create new law but asks the executive branch to pursue this option.
