Informing the Legislature that on June 6, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB330 SD1 HD2 CD1 (ACT 190).

SB330 authorizes Hawaii's Department of Agriculture to enforce federal quarantines that prevent invasive pests and diseases, such as citrus greening, from entering the state. The law gives the department authority to seize, destroy, or require treatment of regulated items (like citrus crops) that violate federal quarantine rules or are infested, and to demand proof of origin for shipments from quarantined areas. This directly affects the Department of Agriculture and anyone shipping regulated agricultural products into Hawaii from regions under federal quarantine, such as parts of Florida or Puerto Rico. The bill closes a legal gap that previously prevented Hawaii from enforcing federal quarantines, despite their existence to protect against invasive species.
