HB71

Hawaii HB71 amends cannabis laws to prohibit smoking in public areas and restricts medical cannabis use in certain public places.

Hawaii HB71 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to prohibit smoking cannabis in public areas, including school grounds, public parks, and state-owned properties. It also restricts the medical use of cannabis in specific public places, such as school buses, workplaces, and public recreation centers. The bill defines "smoking" to include the use of electronic smoking devices and mandates that cannabis be transported in sealed containers when in public. The changes take effect on July 1, 2025.
