SB2317 directs the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity to study insurance coverage for small agricultural producers in Hawaii.

SB2317 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 assess existing private sector insurance programs. It will also explore public-private partnerships, identify barriers to insurance availability, and assess the role of existing agencies in providing technical assistance.
