State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2729, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CANNABIS FOR MEDICAL USE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
(2) Extending
the maximum period of validity of a qualifying patient's written certification
of a debilitating medical condition;
(3) Allowing
the Department of Health to provide a dispensary with the opportunity for
retesting a failed batch of medical cannabis;
(4) Allowing
the establishment of a bona fide physician-patient or advanced practice
registered nurse-patient relationship via telehealth;
(5) Adding
certain devices that provide safe pulmonary administration to the list of
medical cannabis products that may be manufactured and distributed; and
(6) Increasing
the tetrahydrocannabinol limit per multipack container of manufactured cannabis
products or single container of oil.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Deleting language allowing the establishment of a bona fide physician-patient or advanced practice registered nurse-patient relationship via telehealth;
(2) Clarifying that the devices that provide safe pulmonary administration are distributed solely for use with disposable, pre-filled and tamper resistant sealed containers that do not contain nicotine or other tobacco related products and are used to deliver cannabis orally; and
(3) Clarifying that dispensaries are not required to manufacture the devices that provide safe pulmonary administration.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2729, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2729, H.D. 2.
