SCR 14 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A SUNRISE ANALYSIS OF LACTATION CONSULTANT LICENSURE.

This resolution requests Hawaii's Auditor to conduct a regulatory review (sunrise analysis) of a proposed bill (S.B. 317) that would require lactation consultants to obtain state licensure. It directly affects lactation consultants, as the analysis will evaluate the potential impacts of imposing licensing requirements on their profession. The resolution mandates the Auditor to study the proposal and submit findings and recommendations to the Legislature by early 2026. This review is required under Hawaii law before new licensing rules for unregulated professions can be enacted. The resolution itself does not create licensing but initiates the required assessment process.

This document is a technical conversion of a legislative bill from its original text format to a structured digital format with metadata. The substantive policy content remains the same: requesting a sunrise analysis of lactation consultant licensure under S.B. 317. The main changes are formatting improvements, addition of metadata fields (dates, bill numbers, identifiers), and clarification of the bill number from blank to '317'.
