Committee approves SCR 112 asking Honolulu to light City Hall purple on Aug. 7, 2025
Summary
The committee passed SCR 112 SD1 with amendments narrowing the request to light Honolulu City Hall purple on Aug. 7, 2025 only, rather than making an ongoing annual request.
The House Committee on Culture, Arts & International Affairs voted to advance SCR 112 SD1 with amendments on April 11 in Conference Room 309, requesting the City and County of Honolulu light City Hall purple on Aug. 7, 2025 in recognition of National Purple Heart Day.
Committee members amended the resolution to clarify that the lighting request applies only to Aug. 7, 2025, because a concurrent resolution cannot create a permanent standing request. No presenters testified in the hearing; the clerk noted that individuals who filed written testimony were not present.
The committee recorded the vote with all present members supporting the recommendation. The recorded vote was: Chair Capella — aye; Vice Chair Kang — aye; Representative Garrett — aye; Representative Sayama — aye; Representative Ray Zoda — aye. The recommendation was adopted and the committee will report the measure to the next stage.
The resolution is a nonbinding request to the City and County of Honolulu and does not appropriate funds.
