Bill Summary · HB 1108

Legislative bill overview

HB 1108 relates to the regulation and oversight of manufactured hemp products in Hawaii. The bill was introduced in January 2025 and has been referred to the Health (HLT) and Consumer Protection (CPC) committees for consideration. As of December 2025, the bill was carried over to the 2026 legislative session, indicating it did not advance to a vote in the current session.

Why is this important

Hemp product regulation affects consumer safety, product labeling standards, and the emerging hemp/CBD market in Hawaii. Clear regulatory frameworks can protect consumers from mislabeled or contaminated products while providing clarity for legitimate businesses operating in this sector.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope of regulation - Whether the bill regulates all hemp-derived products (including CBD, Delta-8, Delta-10) or only specific categories
  • Testing and labeling requirements - Balancing consumer protection with compliance costs that may burden small businesses
  • Local vs. state authority - Potential conflicts over whether counties or the state legislature should set manufacturing and sales standards for hemp products
