RE: H.B. No. 1962
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1962, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PSEUDOEPHEDRINE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Specifically, this measure would establish an electronic sales tracking system capable of generating a stop sale alert. The system would also include an override function if the pharmacy or the retailer fears that imminent bodily harm will result if the sale is not completed.
The Hawaii Food Industry Association, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, the Legislative Information Services of Hawaii, and a concerned citizen testified in support of the measure. The Department of Public Safety supported the intent of the measure.
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. 1962, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
