Bill > SB2576

This bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 134-7(b) to prohibit individuals who are being prosecuted for or have been convicted of criminal trespass on agricultural land from owning, possessing, or controlling any firearm or ammunition. This change is intended to address rising agricultural theft and vandalism, which can pose safety risks to farmers and ranchers, particularly when trespassers are armed for illegal hunting. The bill specifically adds "criminal trespass on agricultural land under section 708-823.2" to the existing list of offenses that trigger this firearm prohibition, alongside felonies, crimes of violence, and drug offenses.
