State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was
referred H.C.R. No. 8 entitled:
“HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO INCLUDE HAWAII IN THE MISSING OR
MURDERED INDIGENOUS PERSONS REGIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the United States
Department of Justice to include Hawaii in the Missing or Murdered
Indigenous Persons Regional Outreach Program.
Your Committee received testimony in support for this measure
from the Health Committee of the Democratic Party of Hawai’i;
Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women; and from three
individuals.
Your Committee finds that including Hawaii in the Missing or
Murdered Indigenous Persons Regional Outreach Program will provide
vital resources and support for addressing cases involving
Indigenous people. This inclusion ensures better access to federal
assistance, raises awareness, and enhances efforts to resolve
missing persons and homicide cases in Hawaii.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this
