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 name although they no longer administer exams.  The purpose of this Act is to more accurately reflect the scope and duties of certain boards by removing the word "examiners" from 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", or similar term, appears, as the context requires.

     SECTION 3.  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 dental hygienists" wherever the term "board of dental examiners" appears, as the context requires.

     SECTION 4.  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 5.  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 6.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2018; provided that the amendments made to section 26-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, in sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this Act shall not be repealed when section 26-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by section 5 of Act 181, Session Laws of Hawaii 2017.
