Hawaii HB2552 establishes streamlined emergency licensure for out-of-state healthcare professionals during emergencies.

Hawaii HB2552 aims to enhance the state's emergency response by allowing out-of-state healthcare professionals to practice in Hawaii without a local license during emergencies. This includes physicians, nurses, and other medical personnel. Professionals must meet specific criteria, such as holding a current license in good standing and being affiliated with recognized organizations. The bill also mandates an online registry for these professionals and requires self-registration within 24 hours of deployment.
