AI Summary

  • Request the Hawai'i Tobacco Quitline to display information about available interpretation services on every page of its website.

  • Require the interpretation services information to be accessible in Ilocano, Tagalog, Japanese, Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin, and 'Ōlelo Hawai'i.

  • Encourage the Quitline to provide hyperlinks to translated notices of free interpretation services in a conspicuous location on each website page, following the model used by the Hawaii Medical Service Association.

  • Address the need for multilingual accessibility given that 11.4 percent of Hawai'i residents ages five and above speak English below "very well" and Native Hawaiians have a smoking rate of 27 percent, nearly double other ethnic groups.

  • Direct certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Director of Health.
