Hawaii HB1832 establishes a biological aquatic risk-based framework for assessing and approving aquatic livestock imports and movements.

Hawaii HB1832 aims to modernize the regulatory framework for aquatic livestock imports and movements. The bill mandates the development of a biological aquatic risk-based framework to categorize species based on the probability and consequences of establishing feral populations. This framework will guide the assessment and approval process, incorporating pre-arrival disease testing, entry inspections, and quarantine protocols. The Division of Animal Industry will establish biocontainment standards, permit tracking, and reporting systems.
