Bill Summary · HCR 71

Summary of HCR 71 (becomes HCR 81)

Note up front: the document provided appears to contain text from more than one distinct concurrent resolution and a title that does not match the body. Below I summarize the substantive resolution material included in the file and the procedural history as provided, and I note discrepancies to verify against the official legislative record.

Main purpose / intent

The dominant substantive text in the provided file contains two separate resolutions:

  1. A Delaware “Youth Prevention Day” concurrent resolution designating June 17, 2025 as Youth Prevention Day to promote substance use and mental health prevention programs and youth engagement.
  2. A Hawaii concurrent resolution requesting the Ko Olina Golf Club (and the Hawaii Department of Transportation) to develop and implement measures to prevent golf balls from leaving the golf course and landing on Farrington Highway, and requesting a DOT report to the Legislature.

The file’s title — “Memorializes Congress to consider eliminating the Transportation Security Administration at airports and shift the responsibility to airline employees” — does not appear anywhere in the body text provided.

Key provisions (from the two resolution texts)

  • Delaware Youth Prevention Day

    • Declares June 17, 2025 “Youth Prevention Day” in Delaware.
    • Encourages state agencies and community organizations to promote awareness, share evidence‑based prevention programming and resources, and engage youth with appropriate supports.
    • Cites national and Delaware statistics on substance use, vaping, and youth substance use disorders (e.g., 2021 NSDUH: ~61.2 million Americans 12+ used illicit drugs in the past year; Delaware: 6.22% of 12–17 met criteria for illicit drug use disorder; 3.11% for alcohol use disorder).
    • Notes a June 17, 2025 forum in which 30 high school students participated to discuss prevention.

  • Ko Olina Golf Club / Farrington Highway (Hawaii)

    • Finds that Farrington Highway (18.5‑mile corridor between Kalaeloa Boulevard and Kea‘au) can have up to ~54,000 daily commuters and is projected to see a >22% increase by 2040.
    • Finds that several Ko Olina golf holes are adjacent to the highway, and there have been increased reports of golf balls landing on the highway, posing safety risks.
    • Requests that Ko Olina Golf Club owners/management, in coordination with the Department of Transportation (DOT), develop and implement measures to prevent golf balls from leaving the golf course and landing on Farrington Highway.
    • Requests the DOT submit a report of findings and recommendations (including any proposed legislation) to the Legislature no later than 20 days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2026.
    • Directs that certified copies of the concurrent resolution be transmitted to the DOT Director and Ko Olina Golf Club management.

Who is affected

  • For the Delaware resolution: state agencies, community prevention organizations, schools, youth-serving programs, and Delaware youth (as the resolution is promotional/awareness in nature).
  • For the Hawaii resolution: Ko Olina Golf Club owners/management, the Hawaii Department of Transportation, motorists and pedestrians using Farrington Highway, and nearby residents and property owners.

Procedural / timeline notes (as provided)

  • Filed: February 11, 2025.
  • Committee referrals and hearings occurred March–April 2025 (Transportation, Culture/Recreation & Tourism committees noted).
  • Reported and recommended for adoption in April–May 2025.
  • Passed by the legislature: listed activities include readings and adoption in May 2025 and dates in June 2025 (e.g., passed in House and Senate on June 17, 2025 — Senate vote reported 20 YES, 1 ABSENT).
  • Several entries show “Becomes HCR 81” on June 3, 2025 and other enrollment/approval steps through May 24, 2025.

Discrepancies and recommended verification

  • The document contains text from at least two different concurrent resolutions (Delaware substance‑use prevention and Hawaii golf‑ball safety). The title about memorializing Congress to eliminate the TSA does not appear in the body text.
  • Sponsors listed (Debra Heffernan; KILA; Raymond Crews) and the mixed state references (Delaware and Hawaii) suggest parts of multiple state resolutions were combined.
  • Because the body and procedural history are inconsistent, verify the official enrolled resolution (HCR 81) on the relevant state legislature’s website (Hawaii Legislature or Delaware General Assembly as appropriate) to confirm the final text, sponsors, and current status.

If you’d like, I can:
- Look up the official enrolled HCR 81 text and status (if you tell me which state’s legislative site to consult), or
- Produce a clean, separate one‑page summary for either the Delaware Youth Prevention Day resolution or the Hawaii Ko Olina/Farrington Highway resolution.
