HB 1333 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO ACUPUNCTURE.

HB 1333 recognizes licensed acupuncture practitioners as essential healthcare providers subject to existing regulatory oversight. The bill directly affects acupuncturists by formally acknowledging their role in healthcare systems and placing them under current state regulatory frameworks. Key provisions clarify that acupuncture services are part of essential healthcare, requiring practitioners to comply with established licensing and practice standards. This change standardizes their status without creating new regulations, aligning acupuncture with other recognized healthcare professions.
