Hawaii SB2 mandates the state to prioritize planting edible fruit trees in landscaping projects.

Hawaii SB2 requires the state to plant trees that bear edible fruit in new or renovated landscaping projects. The bill allows anyone to harvest fruit from these trees without needing a permit or license, though it does not prevent the state from enforcing trespassing laws. The state and its political subdivisions, agencies, officials, and employees are exempt from liability for injuries or illnesses from fruit harvesting or ingestion.
