STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

MAKING A GRANT APPROPRIATION FOR THE HAWAII LIVESTOCK COOPERATIVE.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the sustainable development of Hawaii's meat processing facilities is vital for Hawaii's residents and nearly seven million annual visitors. The legislature also acknowledges that, as food safety concerns and health alternatives weigh more heavily in consumers' food purchasing decisions, it has become necessary to support a statewide network of meat processing facilities with sustainable business plans and continually emerging food safety procedures.

The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds as a grant to support the Hawaii Livestock Cooperative's continued operations and its development of a sustainable business plan.

SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $1,400,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2011-2012 as a grant, pursuant to chapter 42F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to support the Hawaii Livestock Cooperative's continued operations and its development of a sustainable business plan.

The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of agriculture for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2011.
