Authorizes use of Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center on June 8, 2025 for an event celebrating the birthday of King Kamehameha I and directs that any physical preparations for the event be done under conditions set by the Architect of the Capitol. The authorization is time-limited to that date and places responsibility for setup and conditions with the Architect of the Capitol.
The resolution permits a public celebration of King Kamehameha I in Emancipation Hall with protective conditions for the Capitol, trading modest local costs and brief limitations on hall availability for expanded cultural access.
Hawaii residents and visitors will be able to attend a culturally significant public celebration of King Kamehameha I in Emancipation Hall on June 8, 2025.
The Architect of the Capitol will set conditions to protect the building and ensure safety during event preparations and the celebration, helping preserve the Capitol complex and reduce risks to staff and visitors.
Local taxpayers or the Capitol complex may incur minor costs or staff time for security, setup, and related logistics for the event.
Reserving Emancipation Hall for this event could temporarily reduce public access or availability for other visitors on that date.
