HI HR23

Affirms that Hawaiian Kingdom sovereignty was never relinquished and remains "in continuity," and that the United States violated Hawaiian Kingdom sovereignty beginning in 1893.

Directs the State to uphold laws against nationality-based discrimination and instructs courts and law enforcement to cease nationality-based harassment and prosecution of Hawaiian Nationals.

Recognizes Hawaiian Nationals as the authentic heirs and body politic of the Hawaiian Kingdom with the right to organize and restore their national government.
