Hawaii HB2594 directs the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity to study insurance coverage for small agricultural producers.

Hawaii HB2594 mandates the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity to conduct a comprehensive study on insurance coverage for small agricultural producers. The study will evaluate the feasibility of a state-supported group insurance program or purchasing pool, develop criteria for defining a "small agricultural producer," and explore public-private partnerships with insurers. It will also assess existing private sector insurance programs, identify barriers to insurance availability, and evaluate the role of existing agencies in providing technical assistance.
