A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO BOARDS.

 

 

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

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that several boards in Hawaii have the word "examiners" in their names even though these boards no longer administer examinations.  The purpose of this Act is to more accurately reflect the scope and duties of certain boards by removing the word "examiners" from the names of the state board of chiropractic examiners, board of dental examiners, board of examiners in optometry, and board of veterinary examiners.

     SECTION 2.  Sections 26-9, 442-2, 442-3, 442-11, 442-14, 451D-2, and 663-1.8, Hawaii Revised Statutes, are amended by substituting the term "Hawaii board of chiropractic" wherever the term "state board of chiropractic examiners", "board of chiropractic examiners", or a similar term, appears, as the context requires.

     SECTION 3.  Section 442-3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending its title to read as follows:

     "§442-3  [Board of examiners.] Hawaii board of chiropractic."

     SECTION 4.  Sections 26-9, 423-1, 447-1, 447-1.5, 447-2, 447-3, 447-3.5, 447-4, 447-6, 447-7, 448-1.5, 448-2, 448-3, 448‑5, 448-7, 448-9.6, 448-11, 448-12, 448-13, 448-16, 448-16.5, 448-22, 448-23, and 451D-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, are amended by substituting the term "board of dentistry and oral hygiene" wherever the term "board of dental examiners" appears, as the context requires.

     SECTION 5.  Sections 26-9, 424-1, 459-1.5, 459-3, 459-5, 459-7, 459-9, and 461-15, Hawaii Revised Statutes, are amended by substituting the term "Hawaii board of optometry" wherever the term "board of examiners in optometry" appears, as the context requires.

     SECTION 6.  Sections 26-9, 451D-2, 471-1, 471-2, 471-3, 471-7, 471-8, 471-9, 471-11, and 471-14, Hawaii Revised Statutes, are amended by substituting the term "Hawaii board of veterinary medicine" wherever the term "board of veterinary examiners" appears, as the context requires.

     SECTION 7.  Section 471-3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending its title to read as follows:

     "§471-3  [Board of examiners;] Hawaii board of veterinary medicine; appointment and removal; qualifications."

     SECTION 8.  All acts passed by the legislature during the regular session of 2018, whether enacted before, on, or after the effective date of this Act, shall be amended to conform to this Act unless such acts specifically provide that this Act is being amended.

     SECTION 9.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 10.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2018; provided that the amendments made to section 26-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, in sections 2, 4, 5, and 6 of this Act shall not be repealed when section 26-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by section 5 of Act 181, Session Laws of Hawaii 2017.
