A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO BIOSECURITY.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that a recently concluded five-year pilot program demonstrated that strengthening biosecurity is a good investment for the State. Since invasive species pose the biggest threat to Hawaii on many fronts, preventive measures can save the State a significant amount of money over the long term. Thus, it is important to ensure that the biosecurity program can continue to operate and expand its efforts.
The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to continue the ports-of-entry biosecurity program.
SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2022-2023 for a ports-of-entry biosecurity program; provided that the funds are allocated as follows:
(1) $ for personnel costs;
(2) $ for materials and supplies;
(3) $ for travel expenses; and
(4) $ for all other costs.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of agriculture for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
