Hawaii HB363 amends laws to hold pet owners liable for damage caused by their pets and to regulate the care of predators on state lands.
Hawaii HB363 amends existing statutes to hold owners of pet animals, such as dogs and cats, liable for any damage their pets cause to native birds, nests, or other animals. It also prohibits the release, feeding, or care of unrestrained predators on state lands, with escalating fines for violations. Additionally, it allows counties to enact ordinances regulating owners of dogs or cats that have injured, maimed, or destroyed animals belonging to others, threatened or endangered species, or animals protected by federal law.
