Hawaii has a small number of people that are interested in passing a safe harbor exemption law in Hawaii. Hawaii Representatives Evans and Carroll are champions and they introduced health freedom legislation in 2007 to protect access to unlicensed practitioners. The bill did not get a hearing and no action was taken by the legislature due to lack of grassroots and consumer presence.
In 2012, a Dietitians licensure bill was introduced and defeated, and in 2013 a licensure bill for Herbalists was introduced. Diane Miller is talking with the group who wants to protect the native herbalists about the benefits of a safe harbor exemption bill.
