Summary:
The joint informational briefing from the House Committee on Agriculture and Food Systems and the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environment focused on the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity’s update on Hawaii’s biosecurity framework, especially implementation of Act 231 (2024) and Act 236 (2025). Chairs Corey Chun and Mike Gabbard opened the meeting by framing the briefing as an update on investments to fight invasive species and improve statewide evaluation and coordination. Department leaders Sharon Her and Richard Kim described historic legislative and executive investments that have allowed the department to rebuild and modernize biosecurity infrastructure to better prevent, detect, control, and eradicate invasive species.
The presentation emphasized the importance of biosecurity to Hawaii’s agriculture, economy, environment, and public well-being, citing threats such as rapid ohia death, little fire ant, coconut rhinoceros beetle, brown tree snake, and red imported fire ant. Staff explained the state’s layered approach—pre-border, border, and post-border—and compared it to New Zealand’s model, stressing that Hawaii must act as a “net, not a wall” and that prevention before entry is far more cost-effective than response after establishment. They also outlined agency roles across the system, including agriculture, natural resources, health, transportation, enforcement, and university partners, and noted that Act 231 strengthened authority over high-risk imports, offshore treatment, compliance agreements, and pest management plans, while Act 236 renamed the department and clarified statewide biosecurity coordination.
Jonathan Ho then walked through specific program areas and progress. He said pre-border risk analysis is being supported by Act 231 funding and a university contract, while offshore compliance and treatment efforts have improved substantially, including Christmas tree inspections from Oregon and Washington and airline declaration systems that provide advance passenger information. For border work, he highlighted inspections, surveillance, detector dogs, and port monitoring. For post-border response and readiness, he discussed the invasive pest hotline and dashboard, trace-forward/trace-back and diagnostics, preparedness for future threats, and the need to build stronger internal capacity. He also described a developing transitional facilities program authorized by Act 236, modeled on New Zealand’s certified facilities system, and said the department has already begun outreach to industry groups such as the Hawaii Floriculture and Nursery Association. No votes or formal actions were taken; the meeting was informational only.

Committee:
All HOUSE MANAGEMENT
Summary:
The committee opened by explaining a new procedure for non-controversial resolutions: they will be heard on Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. for presentation only, then placed on a blue consent calendar for approval on Thursday, while regular resolutions continue on the red calendar. Members were told this was the first use of the process and that it may take some adjustment.
The committee then considered House Bill 1003, a staff appropriation measure presented by House Speaker Brian Evans. He said the bill would allow the House to pay and support its staff for their work. The bill drew no questions, received a motion and second, and passed to the red calendar.
Several resolutions were then adopted without objection. House Resolution 1017 recognized May as ALS Awareness Month; House Resolution 108 honored the Barton Bears for winning the state basketball championship; House Resolution 1019 recognized the economic impact of Nucor Corporation; and House Resolution 1020 honored Frederick Henry Middleton for 50 years of service as assistant superintendent of the street department in Arkadelphia. Each was approved and placed on the blue calendar for the next day. Some items were skipped because the sponsors were absent, and the meeting adjourned after the listed business was completed.

04/13/2026 - House Republican Caucus Calendar #18
Transcript Highlights:
- House, House Bill 2226 requires a court to inquire about a person's veteran status and outlines procedures
Summary:
The Republican caucus reviewed several House bills with Senate amendments and asked whether sponsors would concur or refuse. On HB 2003, which lowers the age for an instruction permit and extends permit validity periods, the sponsor refused concurrence because of an oversight affecting people in the transition period, and the bill was headed to conference committee. On HB 2013, dealing with ADEQ duties related to wildfire smoke and damage from federally managed land, the sponsor was reported to concur with the Senate changes. HB 2133, concerning consent verification for online sexual material, was not concurred with because the sponsor said the definition of sexual material was circular and the bill also swept in an unintended entity, so further fixes were needed.
The caucus also heard that the sponsor concurred on HB 2226, which requires courts to inquire about veteran status and provide information on veterans’ services, after the Senate clarified that the court—not the prosecuting agency—must provide the information. HB 2693, revising the definition of a bona fide association, had a Senate amendment requiring a feasibility study on state employee and public school district employee health insurance plans, and the sponsor concurred. HB 2032, which changes the statewide assessment testing window and reporting timeline, also had sponsor concurrence after the Senate lengthened the testing window and delayed its start. No votes were taken in the caucus; the discussion focused on concurrence decisions and whether bills would proceed to conference committee or advance with the Senate amendments.

House Legislative Review
Summary:
The Committee on Legislative Review met with a quorum and first took up House Bill 2179. Members adopted a House committee substitute that clarifies public notice requirements by allowing a digital copy to satisfy the statute when a newspaper is unavailable in the area or cannot print the advertisement. The committee then voted the House committee substitute for HB 2179 “do pass” by a 6-2 vote.
The committee next considered House Bill 3465 and voted it “do pass” by a 5-3 vote. After a brief recess, the committee returned to open session for a hearing on House Bill 2576, which would name an overpass over I-44 in Webster County for Dr. Tommy McDonnell, a longtime local physician and World War II veteran. The sponsor explained that the bill would also serve as a vehicle for additional naming requests this session through a forthcoming committee substitute.
No testimony was taken on HB 2576 beyond the sponsor’s presentation, and no vote was taken on that bill. The chair said a House committee substitute would be brought the following Tuesday with a vetted list of naming items, and the committee then adjourned.
