H.D. 1

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 14183, 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 United States 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 mahu, transgender, and gender-non-conforming 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.
