Designates February 2026 as "Hawaiian Language Month" or "'Ōlelo Hawai'i Month" to recognize the Native Hawaiian language

Acknowledges the near extinction of Hawaiian language by the 1980s, when fewer than 50 fluent speakers under 18 years old remained, following an 1896 ban on school instruction in Hawaiian that lasted 90 years

Recognizes grassroots revitalization efforts since the 1960s, including University of Hawai'i language programs, 'Aha Pūnana Leo immersion preschools, and state education department immersion programs

Commits the Senate to preserving, protecting, and promoting 'Ōlelo Hawai'i in alignment with the Native American Languages Act (25 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.)

Urges the American public to celebrate the month with appropriate activities and programs supporting the Hawaiian language
