Summary

From the money Hawaii gets under sections 300x and 300x‑21 of this title, the share that matches the proportion of Native Hawaiians in the State’s population must be set aside to run the program for Native Hawaiians. That money can only be spent by contracts the State makes with public or private nonprofit groups to plan, run, and manage comprehensive substance use disorder and treatment programs for Native Hawaiians, and the State must give preference to Native Hawaiian organizations and Native Hawaiian health centers when awarding contracts. The terms “Native Hawaiian,” “Native Hawaiian organization,” and “Native Hawaiian health center” are defined in section 11707 of this title.
