A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO CANNABIS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the purpose of the medical cannabis dispensary system law is to ensure that qualified patients have safe, timely, and adequate access to medical cannabis. The legislature further finds that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has severely impacted the way in which qualified patients can safely access the facilities that provide medical cannabis. Many qualified patients suffer from debilitating conditions that make them especially vulnerable to exposure, and seek alternative ways to physically access facilities and minimize exposure.
The purpose of this Act is to authorize the department of health to approve in-vehicle receipt of medical cannabis and medical cannabis products on or near the premises of dispensaries, under certain conditions.
SECTION 2. Section 329D-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (n) to read as follows:
"(n) A dispensary shall be prohibited from
off-premises delivery of cannabis or manufactured cannabis products to a
qualifying patient, primary caregiver, qualifying out-of-state patient, or
caregiver of a qualifying out-of-state patient[.]; provided that the
department is authorized to allow a dispensary to dispense cannabis or manufactured
cannabis products to a qualifying in-state patient or in-state primary caregiver
of a qualifying in-state patient outside of the dispensary's retail store
building but on the dispensary's premises. The department shall promulgate a written policy
and procedure detailing the circumstances for which on-premises dispensing may
be allowed and any dispensing requirements."
SECTION 3. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date.
SECTION 4. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
Report Title:
DOH; Medical Cannabis; Products; Delivery; Vehicles; COVID-19
Description:
