Summary:
The committee heard testimony on a large number of health-related measures, with the most extensive discussion on SB 2283, which would expand mail-order pharmacy access for prescription drugs. Supporters including HMSA, the Board of Pharmacy, and health plan groups said mail order could lower costs, improve adherence, and reduce hospitalizations, while independent pharmacies and rural neighbor-island providers warned it could harm local pharmacies, reduce access for patients who rely on face-to-face service, and create delivery and storage problems for medications. No vote was taken on SB 2283 during the excerpt, and the chair moved on after hearing testimony.
The committee also heard SB 2855 on opioid antagonists, with the Insurance Division and HMSA noting that medically necessary opioid antagonists are already covered and suggesting the issue may be addressed through education or administrative fixes. Fentanyl and substance abuse groups supported the measure. SB 3045 on health insurance coverage for continuous glucose monitors drew broad support from diabetes and health organizations; HMSA said it had already expanded coverage for members on injectable insulin but raised concerns about supply constraints and said it had not yet seen an auditor study referenced in discussion. Members asked whether the bill would extend coverage beyond current policy.
SB 2843 on domestic violence received support from the Public Defender’s Office, prosecutors, and victim-related organizations, who said the pilot program for misdemeanor domestic violence cases had reduced backlogs and improved court efficiency. A prosecutor also supported retaining coercive control as a petty misdemeanor tool in larger domestic violence cases. SB 2845 on healthcare facility access drew strong support from many health, legal, and advocacy groups, who said it would protect patients and staff from disruptive interference at healthcare facilities; one opponent argued it would chill lawful speech and protest and unfairly exempt labor demonstrations. The committee then heard SB 2854 and SB 3202, both healthcare-related measures, with testimony largely in support. SB 2854 drew comments from health and dental groups, and SB 3202 focused on workforce and licensing issues, including support for retired physicians volunteering, preceptor tax credits, and adding advanced midwifery and physician assistant-related provisions. The chair repeatedly enforced a one-minute testimony limit and moved through the agenda without recorded votes in the excerpt.

Summary:
The committee heard three University of Hawaiʻi-related measures. HB 718 HD1 would appropriate funds for faculty and staff positions at the John A. Burns School of Medicine in cardiovascular, law, biology, tropical medicine, quantitative health/biostatistics, and environmental health and safety. Testimony was in support, including from university representatives and others who submitted written testimony. Members asked whether the positions were additional and how they would affect enrollment; the university said the hires would teach medical students and conduct biomedical research, helping increase the class size to about 77 and eventually 80, and noted a workforce paper requested by the committee would be provided soon.
The committee then discussed SB 1170 HD1, which would grant resident tuition at any UH campus to certain graduates of Hawaiʻi high schools enrolling in undergraduate programs. UH supported the bill and said it had adjusted its testimony in response to prior committee concerns. Members focused on the proposed four-year window, asking why that timeframe was chosen and whether the change was needed at all. UH explained that four years would allow students who left the state to return and still complete an undergraduate degree or prepare for graduate school, and said the bill would help students who come back after one or two years but otherwise would have to wait a year to reestablish residency under current rules. UH also said it was discussing possible administrative rule changes as an alternative if the bill did not pass.
Finally, the committee heard HB 1300 HD1, which would fund a University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center pilot study on cancer disparities among Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, Filipinos, and people living near landfills in Nanakuli, focusing on social determinants of health, lifestyle, environmental exposures, and resilience factors. Testimony from researchers and advocates strongly supported the measure, saying the study could help explain cancer disparities and support future research funding. Members questioned the cost, the reliance on future federal or foundation funding, and the practical outcome of the study. The Cancer Center said the pilot would cost about $500,000 per year for two years, with later funding sought from federal, nonprofit, or private sources; it said the study would produce longitudinal data that could help identify at-risk groups and provide evidence for policy decisions, though members expressed concern that the project needed a clearer end goal and stronger case for public investment.

Summary:
The Senate took up several routine matters, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance and then considering a bill directing the Boston Police Department to waive the maximum age requirement for Antonio Pierce (Senate No. 27). The Senate suspended the rules, ordered the bill to a third reading, and then passed it to be engrossed. The chamber also approved final passage of House No. 4565, an act establishing a special recognition for Marie Lantra, an employee of the Department of Transitional Assistance, and the bill was laid before the Governor for approval.
The Senate then received House No. 4814, a bill authorizing the town of Westwood to reissue certain alcohol licenses and grant additional off-premises alcohol licenses. On motion of Senator Tarr, the rules were suspended to consider the matter forthwith, and the bill was ordered to a third reading. No objections were raised to any of these procedural actions.
The session also included recognition of two retiring Boxford public safety communications employees, Warren Edward Gould and Ronald, with remarks praising the importance of dispatchers and communications staff in public safety. The Senate adopted an order to adjourn to meet again on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m., and then adjourned.

Summary:
The House Committee on Agriculture met with a quorum and considered one item, House Concurrent Resolution 77 by Chairwoman Butler. The resolution memorializes Congress, the President, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Louisiana congressional delegation to support H-2B-certified seasonal employer designation and to reclassify crawfish industry job duties as agricultural labor services for purposes of the H-2A temporary agricultural worker program. Chairwoman Butler explained that crawfish processors and other employers in Louisiana have faced serious labor shortages and denials under the current H-2A/H-2B system, leaving some businesses unable to operate.
Representative Henry spoke in support, saying the issue has been especially harmful in districts dependent on the crawfish and rice industries. Representative Coates asked to be added as a co-author, and Representative Schamerhorn also supported the resolution while noting broader concerns about reliance on foreign labor and stating that employers bear the costs of travel, background checks, and housing for H-2A workers. Despite those concerns, he said he would co-author the measure.
The committee then voted to move HCR 77 favorably without objection. After the vote, the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The House Committee on Agriculture met with a quorum and considered only one item, House Concurrent Resolution 77. The resolution urges Congress, the President, and federal agencies to take action to allow crawfish industry job duties to be treated as agricultural labor for H-2A purposes and to support an H-2B-certified seasonal employer designation. Chairwoman Butler explained that the measure was prompted by problems with H-2A/H-2B worker availability and denials that have affected crawfish processors and other agricultural businesses in Louisiana.
Several members spoke in support. Representative Coates said he wanted to co-author the resolution, Representative Henry described similar problems in his district and thanked the chair for advancing the issue, and Representative Schamerhorn also supported the resolution while noting concerns about reliance on foreign labor and stating that employers cover travel, background checks, housing, and wages averaging about $18 per hour. Representative Omaday moved to report HCR 77 favorably, and the committee approved the motion without objection.
After the favorable report, the committee adjourned.
