H.R. 110 Summary

• Urges state offices, educational entities, and recreational facilities to use Hawaiian names as the sole common names for Hawaii's places and geographical features.

• Requires signage, maps, and promotional materials issued by the State to include Hawaiian place names with proper spelling including the 'okina and kahakō diacritical marks.

• Allows English names to be used when necessary for clarification purposes, but requires Hawaiian names to be included alongside them (e.g., "Tantalus Lookout" with "Pūū 'Ualaka'a").

• Directs that Hawaiian names be used as the basis for translations into languages other than English or Hawaiian to retain original meaning rather than translating English names.

• Encourages government employees to pronounce Hawaiian place names correctly and urges media, private schools, tourism industry, and the general public to adopt these practices for language preservation.
