REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO MAKE AVAILABLE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES TO THE PUBLIC DURING NON-PEAK HOURS AND NON-SCHOOL DAYS.

HCR 3 is a non-binding House Concurrent Resolution requesting Hawaii's Department of Education to make public school recreational facilities (like pools and fields) available to the public during non-peak hours and non-school days. It does not create new law but asks the DOE to expand access beyond current requirements, which already mandate facility availability with a 10-day online application under Hawaii Administrative Rules Chapter 39. The resolution cites concerns about inequitable access to recreation, particularly in low-income and rural communities. As a request, it has no legal force and does not alter existing rules for facility use.
