Bill
HCR 33
Requests relocation of Pearl City Post Office to Navy property to reduce congestion and safety issues at the current site.
Note on documents: The metadata lists HCR 33 as “CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to modify the H‑2B temporary non‑agricultural program…”, but the provided text contains two separate concurrent resolutions (a Delaware-style recognition of the Sport Fish Restoration Program’s 75th anniversary and a Hawaii resolution requesting relocation of the Pearl City Post Office). The legislative history likewise mixes entries from multiple jurisdictions. The following summary describes the two resolutions present in the text, and the procedural actions included. Please confirm which specific HCR 33 (state and text) you want summarized if you need a single, authoritative summary.
Purpose and intent
- Officially recognizes and commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act (1950) and subsequent expansion (Wallop‑Breaux, 1984).
- Acknowledges the role of anglers, boaters, the sportfishing industry, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and state fish & wildlife agencies in fisheries restoration and management.
Key provisions / actions
- Formal recognition of the Sport Fish Restoration Program as a core component of the “American System of Conservation Funding.”
- Notes that combined contributions (Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs plus license fees) have exceeded $78 billion since 1939.
- Directs that an official copy of the resolution be provided to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources, Delaware congressional offices, and media outlets.
Who is affected
- Primarily ceremonial/recognition: benefits stakeholders in fisheries conservation (state agencies, anglers, industry, federal partners) by public acknowledgement.
Procedural notes
- The resolution text appears to be a state concurrent resolution (Delaware 153rd General Assembly) adopted as a formal recognition.
Purpose and intent
- Requests the U.S. Postmaster General (U.S. Postal Service) to build a new Pearl City Post Office on U.S. Navy property at the entrance to the Pearl City Peninsula (across from Lehua Elementary School) to reduce congestion and safety issues at the existing site.
Key provisions / requests
- Describes current problems at the Pearl City Post Office: traffic/safety concerns at Kamehameha Hwy & Acacia Rd intersection; overcrowded facility (small lobby holding ~6–10 people); increased parcel volume; staff/motor pool sizes (approximately 75 employees and 75 vehicles).
- Requests relocation to a larger site on federal (Navy) property to allow a larger building and expanded parking.
- Directs certified copies of the concurrent resolution be sent to the Postmaster General, Commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor‑Hickam, and the Governor.
Who is affected
- U.S. Postal Service (operational/real estate decisions), Joint Base Pearl Harbor‑Hickam (property/coordination), local commuters, Pearl City residents and businesses, and Lehua Elementary School vicinity.
