RE: H.C.R. No. 27
S .D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Agriculture and Environment and Energy and
Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 27
entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING HAWAII'S
CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO PETITION THE UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO TiDDRESS THE LACK OF PARITY
BETWEEN HAWAII AND OTHER STATES AND TERRITORIES PERTAINING TO
THE EXPORT OF AGRICULTURAL GOODS,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request Hawaii's
congressional delegation to petition the United States Department
of Agriculture to address the lack of parity between Hawaii and
other states and territories pertaining to the export of
agricultural goods.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Agriculture and one individual.
Your Committees find that the quarantine requirements and
restrictions on agricultural commodities grown in the State and
transported to the continental United States have seriously
impeded the growth of Hawaii's agricultural industry and,
therefore, the economy of the State. This measure aims to ensure
parity with all other states in the nation regarding the export of
agricultural goods.
