SUPPORTING THE GOVERNOR'S DECISION TO JOIN THE WEST COAST HEALTH ALLIANCE TO GUIDE PUBLIC HEALTH DECISIONS.

This is a symbolic concurrent resolution (SCR 24), not a law. It expresses the Hawaii State Senate's support for the Governor joining the West Coast Health Alliance - a regional collaboration with California, Oregon, and Washington. The resolution affirms Hawaii's commitment to using science-based public health strategies and sharing data with partner states to address challenges like workforce shortages and emerging health threats. It does not create new policies or directly affect residents, as it serves only to endorse the Governor's decision.
