Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 89 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend the law relating to health.

Prior to the hearing on this measure, your Committee posted and made available for public review a proposed S.D. 1, which amends this measure by deleting its contents and replacing it with language to amend the date after which qualifying patients must obtain medical cannabis or manufactured cannabis products only from a licensed dispensary or by cultivating cannabis as permitted by law from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2021.

Your Committee has amended this measure by adopting the proposed S.D. 1.

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 S.B. No. 89, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to your Committee on Health, in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 89, S.D. 1, for further consideration.

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