Strengthens biosecurity on Molokai to prevent invasive species from entering the island.

This bill aims to protect Molokai from invasive species by developing a biosecurity plan, authorizing a new quarantine facility, and funding staff. The Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity must create a plan to prevent invasive species like the coconut rhinoceros beetle and coqui frog from reaching Molokai. It also authorizes bonds for a new quarantine facility and appropriates funds for staffing. The bill ensures that unencumbered funds will lapse by June 30, 2028.
