Requesting a study on updating self-defense laws for agricultural lands in Hawaii.

The bill requests the Department of the Attorney General to conduct a study on the need to update self-defense laws for agricultural lands. It highlights the unique challenges faced by farmers and ranchers, such as isolation and limited access to law enforcement, which can affect their ability to retreat safely. The study will evaluate the consistency of Hawaii's laws with those of other states and consult with law enforcement and agricultural stakeholders. The findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, will be submitted to the Legislature before the 2027 session.
