Summary

**What it does:** This resolution would authorize the use of Emancipation Hall (located in the Capitol Visitor Center) for an event celebrating the birthday of King Kamehameha I, Hawaii's first monarch who unified the Hawaiian Islands in the early 1800s. **Who it affects:** - Event organizers planning the King Kamehameha I birthday celebration - Visitors and participants who would attend the event - Capitol facility staff who manage the space **What would change:** If passed, this would officially permit the use of this federal government facility for the celebration. Without this authorization, the event could not be held in Emancipation Hall. The resolution is procedural - it simply grants permission to use the space rather than creating new laws or spending federal money. **Background:** King Kamehameha Day is a state holiday in Hawaii (June 11), and this would allow the celebration to take place in a prominent federal building in Washington, D.C.
