Became law without the Governor's signature, Act 266, 07/16/2026, (Gov. Msg. No. 1370).
Summary
The law starts a three‑year pilot program in the counties of Kauai and Hawaii that permits licensed clinical psychologists who meet specific training requirements to prescribe selected psychotropic medications to patients ages 18‑65, but only when supervised by a physician or psychiatrist. Prescriptions are reimbursable by Medicaid like those from doctors. The Board of Psychology must adopt rules and the State Health Planning and Development Agency must report to the Legislature on the program’s future.
