HI HR151

Designates the week of May 3, 2020 as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week" in Hawaii.

Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle movements affecting the face, trunk, extremities, and potentially speech, eating, and breathing, which can develop months or years after taking dopamine receptor blocking agents used to treat mental illness or gastrointestinal disorders.

Approximately 500,000 Americans suffer from tardive dyskinesia, with studies indicating a 10-30% overall risk of developing the condition, and one in four patients on long-term antipsychotic medication experiencing it.

Directs the Department of Education, Department of Health, and United States Department of Health and Human Services to increase public awareness about tardive dyskinesia.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Governor, Board of Education Chairperson, Superintendent of Education, Director of Health, and United States Department of Health and Human Services.
