BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. Section 334-106, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

"§334-106 License or accreditation required. Facilities operated pursuant to this part shall be licensed under existing licensing categories, including provisional licenses, or accredited pursuant to section 321-193(10). Facilities operated pursuant to section 334-103(1) or (2) to provide services to mentally ill adults shall be licensed, including provisional licenses. Facilities operated to provide services to mentally ill adults pursuant to section 334-103(3) or (4) shall be accredited rather than licensed.
