Hawaii SB562 establishes a plant nursery registration program to prevent the spread of invasive species. The bill requires anyone engaged in the production or sale of nursery stock to register with the Department of Agriculture. The department can inspect registered locations and may issue orders for treatment, quarantine, or destruction of infested stock. The bill also allows the department to designate high-priority and non-quarantine pests for different islands. The program aims to protect Hawaii's economy and environment from the negative effects of invasive species.
