HI HCR15

Urges United States Customs and Border Protection and the Hawaii Narcotics Enforcement Division to increase canine narcotic contraband detection teams at Hawaii's ports of entry.

References the federal INTERDICT Act (passed January 10, 2018) which calls for increased screening of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids illegally imported into the United States.

Notes that methamphetamine is recognized as the most commonly abused drug in Hawaii and that drug-sniffing dogs have intercepted millions of dollars worth of illegal substances at ports of entry nationwide.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Director of Homeland Security, the Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, the Director of Public Safety, and the head of the Narcotics Enforcement Division.
