Hawaii Green Amendment Gets Its First Hearing in 2024
After having its first hearing where the public provided robust testimony and written comment in support, the Hawaiʻi Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environment voted unanimously in favor of adding the proposed Environmental Rights Amendment (aka the Hawaiʻi Green Amendment SB2933) to the state constitution’s Bill of Rights. The amendment, as proposed, would create an enforceable individual right for all people of the state, including future generations to: “clean water and air, a healthful environment and climate, healthy native ecosystems, and beaches”.
The next committees to hear the proposal will be the Senate Committee on Judiciary and the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. Stay tuned to this space and the Action Platform for next steps and how to stay engaged.
