HI HR165

Requests Facebook to correct inaccurate place names and location information on its platform that harm Hawaii's social and economic interests, particularly in tourism and local businesses.

Directs Facebook to change the town of Kailua on Oahu from "Kailua Village, Honolulu County, Hawaii" to "Kailua, Honolulu County, Hawaii."

Requires Facebook to correct associated maps for Kailua-Kona on the island of Hawaii to accurately reflect its location in Hawaii County, as the current designation "Kailua, Hawaii County, Hawaii" incorrectly points to Kailua on Oahu.

Notes that the Kailua Chamber of Commerce has made repeated unsuccessful requests to Facebook to correct these errors, which cause booking confusion and cancellations for local businesses and tourism services.

Directs certified copies of the resolution be sent to Facebook's CEO, the Kailua Chamber of Commerce President, and the Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce Chair.
