Conference committee meeting to reconvene on 05-01-26 12:45 PM; Conference Room 325.
Summary
The bill directs any Hawaii state agency that handles agricultural leases, licenses, development programs, or procurement to award extra points or preferences to projects that include on‑site or nearby housing for farm workers, or that partner to secure such housing. Projects must show plans to house at least 20% of their workforce, but the law does not force farms to build housing or penalize those that do not. A report on the program’s use must be submitted by the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity before the 2027 legislative session.
