HI HR241

Urges retailers in Hawaii to provide discounts to firefighters, police officers, and emergency personnel in recognition of their public service and sacrifices.

Recognizes that these first responders work long hours year-round to ensure public health and safety, often at risk to their own lives.

References the practice of many Hawaii retailers already providing discounts to military personnel as precedent for extending similar benefits to emergency personnel.

Directs certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Director of Public Safety, Hawaii Chamber of Commerce, county chambers of commerce, and the Retail Merchants of Hawaii.
