Summary
The bill requires anyone selling plants at retail in Hawaii to attach a visible label that shows the plant’s weed‑risk rating and provides a link to the Plant Pono website. It targets commercial nurseries and garden centers, while exempting non‑commercial growers. The goal is to help consumers avoid unintentionally introducing invasive species into their yards and protect native ecosystems.
