HI HR138

Requests the Attorney General to investigate whether crisis pregnancy centers operating in Hawaii are complying with patient privacy regulations.

Requires the Attorney General to submit a report on findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Legislature no later than 20 days before the 2026 Regular Session convenes.

Notes that crisis pregnancy centers advertise medical services (91% advertise services including pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and STI testing) and often invoke HIPAA to collect personal information from clients.

Highlights concerns that 30% of crisis pregnancy center websites promote "abortion pill reversal," which lacks FDA approval and may increase risk of serious complications.

Certifies copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Governor and Attorney General.
