THIRTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE, 2026
STATE OF HAWAII
HOUSE RESOLUTION
urging the governor to take action to protect transgender
members of the hawaiʻi
national guard from discriminatory federal policy and permit qualified transgender
service members to continue their service.
WHEREAS, the
Trump administration has imposed a sweeping and unnecessary ban on transgender
service members in the United States military through Executive Order 14163,
titled "Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness"; and
WHEREAS,
under the ban, individuals with a history of gender dysphoria or who have
undergone medical transitions are barred from military service; and
WHEREAS, in
addition to discharging service members, the executive order paused all
gender-affirming medical procedures and hormone therapies for active-duty
members; and
WHEREAS,
despite numerous challenges from civil rights groups, the Supreme Court has
allowed the ban to remain in effect; and
WHEREAS, this
policy undermines force readiness, destabilizes unit cohesion, and fuels
longstanding waste, fraud, and abuse within the Department of Defense by
expending time and resources purging qualified personnel; and
WHEREAS, the
ban is inherently discriminatory and inconsistent with Hawaiʻi's values and needs;
and
WHEREAS, the
State must take action to protect Hawaiʻi's
valued transgender service members from the Trump administration's
discriminatory policies; now, therefore,
BE IT
RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Thirty-third Legislature of the
State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2026, that this body urges the Governor to take
action to protect transgender members of the Hawaiʻi National Guard from discriminatory
federal policy and permit qualified transgender service members to continue
their service; and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the
Governor and Adjutant General of the Hawaiʻi
National Guard.
