47	47	SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to amend section 141-14, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to allow the industrial hemp special fund to be utilized for the department of agriculture's responsibilities regarding hemp created by Act 14, Session Laws of Hawaii 2020. Act 14 established a registry for hemp processors within the department of health, created a hemp processor special fund within the department of health, and authorized the department of health to collect fees and fines for the program. Act 14 also tasked the department of agriculture with monitoring the transportation of hemp within the state and enforcing certain state restrictions regarding the growth of hemp within the state but did not establish a special fund within the department of agriculture to perform these duties. Amending the industrial hemp special fund will allow the department of agriculture to use the existing special fund to perform the new regulatory duties relating to hemp. SECTION 2. Section 141-14, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows: "[[]§141-14[] Industrial hemp] Hemp special fund; established.

(b) The department of agriculture may use the moneys in the special fund to carry out the purposes of [this] part III, including hiring employees, specialists, and consultants necessary to complete projects related to the purposes of that part." SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the hemp special fund the sum of $___________ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2021-2022 to be used for the purposes of this Act. The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of agriculture. SECTION 4. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 5.
