RE:   H.B. No. 2592

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 2592 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to update Hawaii's controlled substance laws, by among other things:

 

     (1)  Adding new drugs to schedules I, II, and IV; and

 

     (2)  Clarifying the order to show cause and notice requirements when an application for registration is denied or when a registration is suspended or revoked.

 

     The Department of Public Safety and Police Department of the City and County of Honolulu testified in support of this bill.  The Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii opposed this measure.  Walgreens Company provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Reestablishing language that limits the immediate suspension of a pharmacy or practitioner's dispensing ability for failure to transmit required dispensing information to an intentional or knowing failure; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2592, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2592, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
