This amendment requires the government to study whether it is possible to expand agricultural inspections and quarantine rules for products coming into Hawaii. The goal is to determine if more can be done to protect Hawaii's unique environment and farms from invasive pests and diseases.
Invasive species can devastate Hawaii’s unique ecosystems and its local economy; this study is the first step toward creating stronger border protections for the state's agriculture.
Hawaii residents, farmers, and environmentalists are the most affected, as well as companies that ship agricultural goods to the islands.
