HI SB305

Reduces video surveillance data retention requirement at medical marijuana production centers and retail dispensing locations from 365 days to 45 days.

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 329D-7 to specify that video monitoring and recording premises "shall be retained for a period of forty-five days" for both production centers and retail dispensing locations.

Addresses legislature's finding that the 365-day retention requirement is excessive and overly burdensome on licensees, forcing them to reduce video frame capture rates and compromise surveillance quality.

Aligns Hawaii's requirement with other states' medical marijuana dispensary systems, which typically set video surveillance retention between 30 and 45 days while maintaining high-quality video security.

Effective date: July 1, 2070.
