RE: H.R. No. 160
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs, to
which was referred H.R. No. 160 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR TO DECLARE A CYBER
HARASSMENT AND CYBERBULLYING AWARENESS DAY,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Governor to
declare a Cyber Harassment and Cyberbullying Awareness Day.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Democratic Party of Hawai’i.
Your Committee finds that there has been a significant rise
in cyber harassment and cyberbullying in the last ten years as a
result of internet usage increasing exponentially. Your Committee
believes that the State has not adequately addressed cyber
harassment and cyberbullying, and declaration of Cyber Harassment
and Cyberbullying Awareness Day is a step in the right direction
to recognize this issue.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Setting the date of Cyber Harassment and Cyberbullying
Awareness Day on June 21, 2024;
2024—2545 HR16O HD1 HSCR HMSO

and purpose of H.R. No. 160, as amended herein, and recommends

Affairs in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 160, H.D. 1.
