Bill Summary
Extends the offense of false labeling of Hawaii-grown coffee to include roasted coffee. Imposes a mandatory $10,000 fine for each separate offense of false labeling of Hawaii-grown coffee. Appropriates funds for one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) enforcement position. Effective 6/30/3000. (HD2)
AI Summary
This bill expands the offense of false labeling of Hawaii-grown coffee to include roasted coffee, imposes a mandatory $10,000 fine for each separate offense of false labeling, and appropriates funds for a new full-time position within the Department of Agriculture to enforce coffee labeling and packaging laws. The purpose is to deter coffee counterfeiting, which undermines Hawaii's coffee industry by misrepresenting supply and undermining the state's brand identity for high-quality coffee.
