RE: S.C.R. No. 92
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty—Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.C.R. No.
92 entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES,
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, AND
THE COUNTY OF HAWAII, TO COLLABORATE TO ESTABLISH AND
IMPLEMENT A FIVE-YEAR PILOT PROGRAM TO MITIGATE AND CONTROL
THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE POPULATION OF FERAL CHICKENS,
ROOSTERS, AND PIGS,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of
Agriculture, Department of Land and Natural Resources, Department
of Health, and the City and County of Honolulu, to create a
working group to mitigate and control the significant increase in
the population of feral chickens and roosters.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the five-year pilot program to a working group,
and removing language associated with the pilot program;
and
(2) Requesting that, should funding become available, an
interim program be created to provide traps to capture

feral chickens and roosters, as was the focus of the
previous version’s pilot program; and
(3) Removing all references to feral pigs, since addressing
the issue of feral pigs requires a very different
approach than feral chickens and roosters and should be
addressed in a separate resolution; and
(4) Removing all references to the County of Hawai’i and
Puna, since each county’s challenges with feral chickens
and roosters are unique to that county, and working
groups should be created for each county to determine
the best methods to address their specific issues; and
(5) Removing the interim report request, and changing the
requested submittal date for the final report from no
later than twenty days prior to the convening of the
Regular Session of 2028 to no later than thirty days
prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2024;
and
(6) Amending the measure title and report title to conform
to the modified purpose of the resolution; and
(7) Including technical and nonsubstantive amendments for
consistency and clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 92, as
amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached
hereto as S.C.R. No. 92, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on
