Hawaii HB1828 amends agricultural land use regulations to include renewable energy facilities and agricultural tourism activities.

Hawaii HB1828 modifies the permitted uses of agricultural lands to include renewable energy facilities and agricultural tourism activities. Specifically, it allows for the construction of solar energy facilities, wind energy facilities, biofuel processing facilities, and geothermal resources development on agricultural lands. It also permits agricultural tourism activities such as overnight accommodations, day camps, picnic grounds, and parks. The bill ensures these activities coexist with bona fide agricultural activities and do not interfere with surrounding farm operations.
