Informing the Legislature that on April 10, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB386 (ACT 004).

HB386, now law after being signed by Governor Green on April 10, 2025, updates Hawaii's drug offense thresholds by setting specific weight and quantity limits for two levels of "promoting dangerous drugs." A first-degree offense now applies to possessing one ounce or more of methamphetamine, heroin, morphine, fentanyl, or cocaine (or one and a half ounces of other dangerous drugs) or distributing 25 or more individual drug doses (like pills) or specific weights. A second-degree offense covers possessing 25 or more individual drug doses or lower weights (one-eighth ounce for the listed drugs, one-fourth ounce for others) and distributing any amount of dangerous drugs. These changes directly affect individuals who possess or distribute dangerous drugs in the specified quantities.
