Chapter 145, Part II, Hawaii Revised Statutes Ownership and Movement of Agricultural Commodities

Requires Proof of Ownership - It's the LAW!

HB 1524 was newly enacted into law this past legislative session. Among other things, HB 1524 makes it a Class C Felony to sell or transport "lots of any agricultural commodity of more than two hundred pounds or with a value of at least $100 that is marketed for commercial purposes" without a completed Ownership & Movement Certificate. It is important that farmers be aware of the requirements of HB 1524. 

Specifics on what is required can be found at the following flyer at the Hawaii state government web site.
