RE: H.R. No. 92
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty—Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.R. No. 92
entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII TO
EVALUATE AND EXPAND ITS CURRENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR
STUDENTS,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to encourage the University of
Hawaii to evaluate and expand its current mental health services
for students.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Health Committee of the Democratic Party of Hawai’i and
three individuals. Your Committee received comments on this
measure from the University of Hawai’i System.
Your Committee finds that a student’s mental health and well
being is critical for academic success. Your Committee further
finds that although the University of Hawaii provides mental
health services for students, recent assessments and student
feedback indicate that there is an increased demand for these
services. This measure encourages the University of Hawaii to
expand its existing student mental health services to ensure all
students within the University of Hawaii System have access to
comprehensive mental health support.
