Hawaii SB509 aims to boost local food supply by expanding slaughterhouse facilities.
Hawaii SB509 seeks to enhance the state's food supply by expanding slaughterhouse facilities. The bill requires the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to identify suitable sites for new slaughterhouses, considering factors like proximity to livestock production areas and environmental impacts. The Agribusiness Development Corporation will then plan, design, construct, and operate these facilities. The bill allocates $200,000 for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to support these efforts.
