Merle Hayward,
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Anyway, just wanted to let you know a mandatory labeling bill has just passed in the Maui County Council. The resolution is now included in the Hawaii State Association of Counties legislative package. Remaining counties must also endorse this measure, however, in order for it to reach the legislature.
I do not yet know how these HSAC resolutions proceed to remaining counties, whether individually, or all at once.
But it is important to alert people to watch for this measure in their county, and/or support it along the way as the bill progresses.
This bill will show up in county council(s) before the next legislative session.
And if the legislature receives such a mandate from HI counties, it might be hard to ignore!
That would mean mandatory labeling for all of Hawaii!
