HI SB174

Adds lupus, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis to Hawaii's list of debilitating medical conditions that qualify for medical marijuana use under HRS § 329-121.

Expands the existing definition of "debilitating medical condition" established by Act 228 (2000), which previously only added post-traumatic stress disorder as a qualifying condition since its enactment.

Maintains existing qualifying conditions (cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS) and allows the Department of Health to approve additional qualifying conditions through administrative rules.

Aligns Hawaii's medical marijuana law with other states, noting that 41 states plus Washington D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico authorize medical marijuana use for at least one qualifying condition.

Effective date of July 1, 2070 (note: appears to contain a typographical error in the year).
