Kauai, Hawaii.
Four identical resolutions — House Resolution 186, House Concurrent Resolution 196, Senate Resolution 152, and Senate Concurrent Resolution 161 — which would, if adopted, have requested the state board of education and department of education to establish a working group to develop a Climate Literacy Seal of Excellence program for Hawaii's students, died in committee when the legislature adjourned on May 8, 2026.
Two previous bills, Senate Bill 2473 and the identical House Bill 1925, would have required the state department of education to establish such a climate literacy certificate program. Senate Bill 2473 died in a Senate committee; House Bill 1925, amended to authorize rather than require the department to establish such a program, passed the House of Representatives on March 6, 2026, but then died in a Senate committee.
