STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2263

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2006

RE: S.B. No. 2373

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 2373 entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make conforming amendments to a provision of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act (UCSA) to make it consistent with Act 193, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Public Safety and the Attorney General.

Act 193 added three new sections to the UCSA, which placed additional restrictions on the sale of over-the-counter pseudoephedrine products. The proposed statutory amendments clarify that the "sale, transfer, furnishing, or receipt" of pseudoephedrine or norpseudophedrine fall under the purview of Act 193.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2373 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
