What's Being Discussed
The Hawaii Department of Transportation's Medical Advisory Board (MAB) is holding a one-hour meeting on November 9, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. The meeting will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams, with an in-person option available at the Motor Vehicle Safety Office in Aiea.
The board will review a total of 30 driver's license cases involving applicants with medical conditions:

Oahu: 28 cases
Kauai: 1 case
Maui: 1 case
Hawaii Island: 0 cases

Because these cases involve confidential medical information, the board will move into a closed Executive Session that is not open to the public. This is permitted under Hawaii state law (HRS §92-5(a)(8)).

Decisions Expected

The board will vote to enter Executive Session at the start of the meeting.
For each applicant reviewed, the board will make a recommendation on whether a Hawaii driver's license should be issued, and whether any special conditions or restrictions should apply.
The meeting will adjourn immediately after the Executive Session concludes.

Who Should Pay Attention

Individuals who have applied for a Hawaii driver's license and have been referred to the Medical Advisory Board due to a medical condition.
Healthcare providers or advocates supporting applicants in the review process.
Members of the public who wish to submit written or oral testimony on any agenda item before the meeting begins.
