Summary

The Senate passed a concurrent resolution urging the U.S. government to provide supplemental money so Hawaii can increase salaries and benefits for adult corrections officers. The request targets the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, citing high vacancy rates, low pay relative to Hawaii’s cost of living, and safety concerns.
