SB251

Hawaii SB251 mandates the Department of Agriculture to create and implement an invasive species placard program for plant nurseries.

Hawaii SB251 aims to combat the spread of invasive species by requiring the Department of Agriculture to establish an invasive species placard program for plant nurseries. This program will use green, yellow, and red placards to indicate the invasive pest status of nursery stock. The placards will be posted at each location selling nursery stock, and administrative inspections will be authorized. The rules will set standards, management practices, and violations leading to placard issuance.
