Hawaii HB246 mandates the Department of Health to maintain a public database of state-licensed care facilities with inspection reports and license.

Hawaii HB246 requires the Department of Health to create a searchable and sortable public database of all state-licensed care facilities. This database must include information such as the type of care facility, licensing dates, inspection reports, and corrective actions taken. The database aims to enhance transparency and oversight of care facilities, following a tragic outbreak at the Yukio Okutsu State Veterans Home in 2020. The database will be updated within five days of any changes and will be accessible to the public.
