Hawaii Legislative Events
Summary
Hawaii SB3132, relating to syndromic surveillance, passed the Senate and House committees. The bill requires hospitals with emergency departments to submit syndromic surveillance data to the Department of Health and authorizes DOH to establish a state syndromic surveillance system. The measure cleared the Senate with unanimous support (25-0) and is advancing through House committees with proposed amendments.
What changed
SB3132 establishes new syndromic surveillance reporting requirements for Hawaii hospitals. The bill mandates that hospitals licensed with emergency departments submit syndromic surveillance data to the Department of Health and authorizes DOH to create a statewide syndromic surveillance system. The measure passed the Senate unanimously (25-0) and advanced through House committees with amendments (HD1).
Affected parties—primarily hospitals and healthcare systems with emergency departments—should prepare for potential compliance obligations. If enacted, hospitals will need to implement data collection and submission processes for syndromic surveillance reporting. The bill's progress through both chambers indicates strong legislative support, and stakeholders should monitor for gubernatorial action.
What to do next
- Monitor SB3132 for gubernatorial action and final enactment
- Prepare syndromic surveillance data submission protocols if bill becomes law
- Review HD1 amendments for specific reporting requirements and timelines
