HI SCR198

Requests the Department of Public Safety, Sheriff Division, to display the Prisoner of War and Missing in Action (POW/MIA) flag year-round at the Hawaii State Capitol.

References U.S. Public Law 101-355, which designated the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia's flag as the official symbol of the nation's concern for Americans still prisoner, missing, and unaccounted for in Southeast Asia.

Notes that federal law requires the POW/MIA flag to be flown on six national holidays at major U.S. buildings including the White House, U.S. Capitol, and military installations.

Emphasizes that year-round visibility of the flag serves as a constant reminder of the plight of America's prisoners of war and missing in action personnel.

Directs transmission of certified copies to the Governor of Hawaii and the Director of Public Safety.
