Establishes overdose prevention centers in Hawaii to provide harm reduction services and safe drug use environments.

The bill establishes criteria for designating overdose prevention centers in Hawaii, where individuals can safely use pre-obtained drugs and receive harm reduction services. These centers aim to prevent fatal overdoses, reduce transmission of bloodborne pathogens, and link users to health and social services. The bill outlines standards for center operations, including personnel qualifications, safety measures, and reporting requirements. It also provides immunity from state criminal prosecution for participants and operators of these centers.
