Bill > SB2406

This bill clarifies labeling and advertising rules for coffee grown and processed in Hawaii, aiming to prevent confusion with foreign-grown coffee processed within the state. It specifically amends existing law to define "regional origin" as any coffee-growing region outside of Hawaii where green coffee beans are grown and processed, distinguishing it from "geographic origin" which refers to regions within Hawaii. The changes ensure that labels accurately reflect the origin of coffee beans, whether they are 100% from Hawaii, a blend of Hawaiian origins, or a blend that includes foreign-grown coffee, with specific requirements for how percentages and origins are displayed on packaging.
