HI SB2952

Establishes Queen Liliuokalani Day on the first Monday in September each year, coinciding with Labor Day, rather than on a fixed date of September 2.

Honors Hawaii's last ruling monarch, Queen Liliuokalani, born September 2, 1838, whose centennial passing observance occurred on November 11, 2017.

Removes the previous provision stating Queen Liliuokalani Day "shall not be a state holiday," making it a recognized state holiday.

Recognizes that Hawaii has honored two royals with state holidays since statehood (King Kamehameha Day on June 11 and Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day on March 26), and this establishes the first post-statehood holiday dedicated to an ali'i.

Takes effect on July 1, 2018.
