Hawaii SB496 mandates the board of agriculture to define "bona fide farmer" and "bona fide agricultural activity" to ensure consistent resource.
Hawaii SB496 aims to address inconsistencies in agricultural resource allocation and policy implementation by requiring the board of agriculture to draft comprehensive definitions for "bona fide farmer" and "bona fide agricultural activity." These definitions will include criteria such as minimum income threshold, primary occupation, farm size or scale, and commercial focus. The board must submit these definitions to the department of agriculture, which will report them along with any proposed legislation.
