Yamane, Chair Representative Scott Y. Nishimoto, Vice Chair Thursday, March 11, 2010, 10:45 AM State Capitol, Room 309 Representative Hanohano, Yamane and Members of the Committees: The Department of Public Safety does not support Senate Bill 2213 SD2 that proposes to amend Section 46-1.5 relating to general powers and limitations of the counties by allowing Hawaii's four counties to independently develop and establish dispensaries for the distrib~tion of marijuana for medical use to qualifying patients and primary caregivers registered under section 329-123 HRS. This could result in four separate sets of rules and regulations set by the counties that would have to be regulated and enforced, without any clarification as to which government entity is to regulate this practice. Senate Bill 2213 SD2 requires the Department of Public Safety to annually register these compassion centers, although it is not clear if the Department or the counties will be tasked with the collection and dispersment of the $5000.00 registration fee, nor does the SB2213 SD2 March 11,2010 Page 2 bill allocate any manpower or funds to implement this new program.
