HI SB2331

Allows out-of-state licensed physicians to provide medical services to sports team members and coaching staff without a Hawaii medical license if they have a written or oral agreement with the team for a specific sporting event.

Permits out-of-state physicians invited by a national sport governing body to provide services at training centers or sanctioned events in Hawaii, limited to the physician's area of competence.

Restricts exempt physicians from treating Hawaii residents outside the sports team context and prohibits them from practicing at healthcare clinics or acute care facilities.

Limits exemptions under team agreements to 10 days per sporting event, with an option to request an additional 20 days (30 days maximum) from the Hawaii medical board; exemptions for national sport governing body events cannot exceed 30 days total.

Effective July 1, 2016; allows the Hawaii medical board to enter into agreements with other states' medical licensing boards to implement the exemption provisions.
