SR 10 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

This resolution requests the State Auditor to conduct a "sunrise analysis" to evaluate the potential impact of licensing lactation consultants in Hawaii. Currently, lactation consultants operate without state licensure, unlike many other medical care professions. The analysis will specifically assess S.B. 317 (a separate bill proposing to create a licensing board for lactation consultants) and must be completed before the 2026 legislative session. The study aims to determine if new regulatory requirements would be appropriate and beneficial. This resolution itself does not change licensing rules but seeks to inform future legislative decisions.

MINOR

The document was converted from a traditional legislative text format to a structured metadata template, while the substantive policy content requesting a sunrise analysis of lactation consultant licensure remained unchanged. The bill number was updated to reflect the specific Senate Bill (S.B. No. 317) that proposes the licensure framework being analyzed.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the request for a sunrise analysis of lactation consultant licensure remains identical.

TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a plain text legislative resolution to a structured metadata template with fields for document type, dates, and identifiers.

Specific bill reference was added, identifying S.B. No. 317 as the legislation establishing the Board of Lactation Consultants that is being analyzed.
