Encouraging All Counties Of Hawaii To Create A Special Number Plate Design For Motor Vehicles To Commemorate The Accomplishments Of Carissa Kainani Moore.

Impact

The bill aims to bring about changes at the local government level where each county in Hawaii is encouraged to take action on the creation of these special number plates. This initiative could strengthen community ties and promote a sense of pride within the state, celebrating an athlete who has not only excelled in her sport but has also been a source of inspiration for many. The resolution calls for counties to submit a report of their efforts and any recommendations, which could lead to further legislative actions regarding the issuance of special vehicle plates.

Summary

SCR20 is a Senate Concurrent Resolution from the State of Hawaii that encourages all counties to create a special number plate design for motor vehicles in honor of Carissa Kainani Moore. Moore made history by becoming the first female gold medalist in Olympic surfing during the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. The resolution recognizes her achievements not only in the realm of sports but also highlights her contributions to community service and advocacy against issues like sexism and body-shaming. The effort is seen as a way to commemorate and celebrate her legacy, which extends beyond her surfing accomplishments.

Contention

While the resolution is largely celebratory, it also reflects broader discussions around how the state honors its athletes. There may be differing opinions on the appropriateness of using state resources for commemorative purposes, especially concerning specially designed license plates. The implications of this resolution may involve considerations regarding the cost of producing the new plates, the process of implementation, and the potential impact on other commemorative efforts within the state.
