A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO EDUCATION.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that, with nearly thirty thousand people registered as medical cannabis patients in Hawaii, there is an unmet need for expertise in the field of cannabinoid medicine to facilitate the exchange of educational and research information related to the state-authorized use of cannabis for medical purposes in Hawaii. The legislature also finds that the appropriate place to house such expertise should be the university of Hawaii John A. Burns school of medicine.
The purpose of this Act is to create a cannabinoid medicine program within the university of Hawaii, to be administered by the John A. Burns school of medicine.
SECTION 2. Chapter 304A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part IV, subpart M, to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§304A- Certified cannabinoid medicine program; cannabinoid
medicine expert. (a) There is established within the university of Hawaii
the cannabinoid medicine program, which shall be administered by the John A. Burns
school of medicine. The program shall include
at least one non-tenure track associate professor position that shall be filled
with a medical or osteopathic doctor who is a certified cannabinoid medicine specialist,
to be appointed by the dean of the John A. Burns school of medicine. This position may either be a paid or an unpaid
volunteer position.
(b) The mission of the cannabinoid medicine program
shall be to pursue research and education related to the authorized use of cannabis
for medical purposes in the State to:
(1) Protect patient
safety; and
(2) Promote the development
of the State as an international center for medical cannabis research and treatment.
(c) The activities of this program shall include:
(1) Coordinating with the university of Hawaii's cannabis testing and
research programs to provide medical and scientific expertise on the various projects
being undertaken by these programs;
(2) Participating in the development of cannabinoid medicine education
for the John A. Burns school of medicine's problem-based learning curriculum;
(3) Providing continuing education on the medical
use of cannabis in the State to the medical community;
(4) Working with the department of health state laboratories division
to establish standardized analytical testing methods for the State's medical cannabis
program; and
(5) Working with the department of health's medical cannabis program
to ensure regulatory compliance by patients, laboratories, and dispensaries."
SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
