STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2414

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2390

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred S.B. No. 2390, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PHARMACIST LICENSURE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the Board of Pharmacy to recognize practical experience under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist obtained in territories of the United States and the District of Columbia as well and at designated non-pharmacy practice locations for purposes of meeting the requirements for licensure as a pharmacist in this State. 

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Board of Pharmacy, University of Hawai‘i at Hilo College of Pharmacy, CVS Caremark/Longs Drugs, PHI Pharmacies, and three private citizens.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure will allow many students of pharmacy in Hawaii to gain their required practical experience in their home communities.  This will accomplish the joint purposes of attracting students from diverse locations to Hawaii to study pharmacy and of improving access to health care in the students' home territories.  This measure will also expose pharmacy students to expanded opportunities for professional development in a variety of health care settings, including clinics and acute care facilities, beyond traditional pharmacies. 

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making nonsubstantive technical changes for the purposes of clarity and accuracy. 

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2390, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2390, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection,
