HI HB 1114: RELATING TO HARM REDUCTION.
Summary
Hawaii HB 1114 proposes to repeal the one-to-one syringe exchange limit and authorize needs-based distribution through the state's Sterile Needle and Syringe Exchange Program. The bill also extends program participation to non-injection drug users and modifies liability protections for program participants, staff, and law enforcement. The bill has been carried over to the 2026 Regular Session and has not been enacted.
What this may mean
If enacted, the bill expands the operational scope of Hawaii's needle exchange program, removing the one-for-one exchange requirement and broadening the eligible participant population. The liability modifications affect program staff and law enforcement officers engaged in exchange activities. No federal regulatory requirement is directly altered.
