Hawaii HB2300 adjusts procurement rules for local edible produce and packaged food products for the Department of Education.

Hawaii HB2300 modifies procurement rules for local edible produce and packaged food products for the Department of Education. The bill exempts purchases of these products under $250,000 from the electronic procurement system requirement, instead mandating at least three written quotes. This change aims to support the department's mandate to provide at least 30% locally sourced foods to Hawaii's public schools by 2030. The bill also repeals previous statutory material and takes effect on July 1, 2026, expiring on June 30, 2028.
