What's Being Discussed

The Hawaii Department of Transportation's Medical Advisory Board is holding a short meeting on Monday, July 13, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. The meeting will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams and also in person at the Motor Vehicle Safety Office in Aiea.

Nearly the entire meeting will take place in closed (executive) session, meaning the public cannot observe those discussions. This is allowed under state law because the board will be reviewing confidential medical information about individuals who have applied for a Hawaii driver's license. A total of 15 cases will be reviewed:

• Oahu: 14 cases
• Hawaii Island: 0 cases
• Kauai: 0 cases
• Maui: 1 case

Decisions Expected

For each case, the board will recommend whether an applicant should be issued a Hawaii driver's license, and whether any additional conditions or restrictions should apply. The meeting will adjourn immediately after the closed session ends.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Driver's license applicants whose medical fitness to drive is currently under review by the state
• Healthcare providers or advocates supporting individuals in the licensing process
• Anyone interested in how the state evaluates medical conditions related to driving

Members of the public may attend or submit testimony, though the substantive discussions will be held in private. For disability accommodations, contact Lee Nagano at (808) 692-7650 or Lee.Nagano@hawaii.gov at least 72 hours before the meeting.
