Your Committee finds that this measure is necessary to make permanent the temporary designation of new controlled substances by the Department of Public Safety. Your Committee further finds that the Department of Public Safety's temporary designation of the new controlled substances will be nullified if this Legislature does not make the designations permanent.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(A) Moving the substances proposed to be added to the list of opiates and the list of depressants, into the list of hallucinogenic substances; and
(B) Moving the substances proposed to be added to the list of stimulants into the list of cannabinoids;
(2) Moving, under schedule IV, daridorexant from the list of stimulants to the list of depressants;
(3) Changing the effective date to be upon approval; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1097, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1097, H.D. 2.
