SCR 122 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING A COMMITMENT TO A NUCLEAR-FREE, SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 122) is a non-binding statement by Hawaii's legislature reaffirming opposition to nuclear energy. It cites Hawaii's constitutional ban on nuclear power plants (Article XI, Section 8), risks of nuclear fuel transport to the island chain, geological instability making waste storage unsafe, and the state's existing 100% renewable energy goal under Act 97 (2015). The resolution formally commits the legislature to "uphold Hawaii's constitution" and prioritize renewable energy, directing certified copies to state officials and county leaders. It does not create new law but expresses policy stance.
