Informing the Legislature that on May 30, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB532 SD2 HD2 CD1 (ACT 136).

This bill (SB532) expands who can administer student medications in Hawaii public schools. It allows trained school staff - beyond just school health assistants - to give oral, nasal, or topical medications (and emergency premeasured medications) if they complete specific training. The training covers correctly interpreting prescriptions, identifying students, confirming doses, timing, and documentation. It directly affects public schools and students who rely on medications for health and school attendance. The law amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to include this training-based authorization, ensuring student safety during medication administration.
