Establishes a voluntary registry for clean and sober homes in Hawaii, setting standards and procedures for operation.

Hawaii HB1217 establishes a voluntary clean and sober homes registry to support individuals recovering from substance abuse. The Department of Health will set standards for organizational, fiscal, operational, recovery, property, and neighborly conduct. Homes must obtain a certificate of registration, which will be publicly displayed and listed on the department's website. The bill allows homes with five or more residents existing before the Act's effective date to operate without a county-issued conditional use permit until January 1, 2026, or until they obtain such a permit.
