Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1217, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to:

(1) Amend Hawaii's Uniform Controlled Substances Act, Chapter 329, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to conform to federal law; and

(2) Authorize the Department of Health (DOH) to make additions and deletions to List 1 and 2 to reflect changes in the federal law.

 

Your Committee finds that conforming Hawaii's Uniform Controlled Substances Act with federal law is necessary for more effective drug enforcement and clarity in dispensing of prescriptive drugs.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Deleting the provision authorizing the DOH to make corresponding additions or deletions by rule when changes to List 1 or 2 are made under federal law; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1217, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1217, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
