RELATING TO INVASIVE SPECIES. Reduces the movement of invasive pests between islands by: Authorizing inspection and treatment of Regulated goods moving between islands and intraisland, prohibiting transportation of infested material between islands and intraisland, authorizing the department to designate quarantine areas, as needed, to isolate infested areas, and authorizing a compliance agreement program to insure that qualifying agricultural businesses in quarantine areas can transport their commodities with minimal risk of pest or disease spread.
