RE: S.C.R. No. 134
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Agriculture, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 134 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO IMPLEMENT AN INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO PROMOTE THE PURCHASE OF HAWAII-GROWN AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Department of Agriculture to implement an incentive program to promote the purchase of Hawaii-grown agricultural commodities.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Agriculture, Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation, and Hawaii Cattlemen's Council.
Your Committee finds that expanding the local purchase of Hawaii-grown agricultural products would benefit the State's economy and promote healthy living through the consumption of fresh, local food products.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 134 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Agriculture,
