Bill to Decrease Invasive Species

HB 1568 HD2 – Establishing Biosecurity Facilities Submit Testimony This measure is intended to create adequate biosecurity and inspection facilities at Hawai‘i’s major airports and harbors. Air and sea transportation is the major pathway for invasive species to sneak into the State. Hawai‘i — the endangered species capital of the world — is fast losing the battle against invasive species. The bill is intended to help stop the spread of new invasive species at our ports of entry – before they become established in Hawai‘i.
