A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO INVASIVE SPECIES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that invasive species can wreak havoc on Hawaii's fragile ecosystem, environment, and agricultural lands. The legislature further finds that intrastate commerce and the inter-island transportation of plants has resulted in a significant and growing problem in the county of Maui with:
(1) Eleutherodactylus coqui, commonly known as "coqui frogs";
(2) Wasmannia auropunctata, commonly known as "little fire ants";
(3) Hypothenemus hampei, commonly known as "coffee borer beetles" or "coffee berry borers";
(4) Dynastinae, commonly known as "rhinoceros beetles"; and
(5) Angiostrongylus cantonensis, commonly known as "rat lungworm."
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds for efforts to substantially reduce and eradicate the problem of invasive species in the county of Maui.
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 2020-2021 for efforts to substantially reduce and eradicate invasive species in the county of Maui.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of land and natural resources for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2150.
