Informing the Legislature that on June 27, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB774 HD2 SD1 CD1 (ACT 237).

This bill establishes Hawaii's Food and Product Innovation Network, a statewide system of facilities designed to help local businesses scale up value-added food and product manufacturing. It creates access to shared manufacturing equipment, industry expertise, and support services - including product development, branding, and export compliance - across multiple islands (Kauai, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu). The network directly supports businesses seeking to use "Hawaii made" branding under state law, with facilities at locations like the University of Hawaii Maui College and Leeward Community College. The law aims to strengthen Hawaii's agricultural economy by connecting innovation to commercialization.
