Bill > SB207

This bill requires the Hawaii Department of Transportation to enhance security measures at state airports and commercial harbors by mandating the installation and use of electronic scanning equipment specifically designed to detect illegal fireworks in cargo container loads. The bill amends two existing statutes related to cargo support facilities, adding a new requirement for the department to use scanning technology at each state airport and commercial harbor to identify and prevent the transportation of illegal fireworks. The electronic equipment will be used to scan air and maritime cargo containers, with the goal of improving safety and preventing the unauthorized transport of fireworks through Hawaii's transportation infrastructure. The bill will take effect immediately upon approval, and the new scanning requirements are intended to supplement existing biosecurity and cargo inspection protocols at these transportation facilities.
