REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO CONSIDER RENAMING THE HONOULIULI WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT TO A NON-HAWAIIAN NAME.

This Senate resolution asks the City and County of Honolulu to consider renaming the Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant to a name that is not of Native Hawaiian origin. The bill is based on concerns that the traditional Hawaiian name "Honouliuli" might carry unintended negative associations when linked to a sewage facility, potentially affecting how residents in the area are perceived. It directs the city to consult with community stakeholders, including Native Hawaiian organizations, during any renaming process and requires a progress report to be submitted to the Legislature within one year. The resolution does not mandate a name change but instead requests that the city consider the proposal and report back on its deliberations.
