47	47	SECTION 1. The department of health shall amend its shellfish sanitation administrative rules pursuant to chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes, based on the United States Department of Agriculture's 2019 National Shellfish Sanitation Program model ordinance to address the dynamic factors and high variability within the State's coastal zones. The rules shall include: (1) The adoption of two new classifications of conditional shellfish growing areas. The classifications shall: (A) Include "conditionally approved" and "conditionally restricted" shellfish growing areas to allow for more flexible management when a growing area is subject to fluctuating water conditions that are known and predictable, based on continual monitoring and data; (B) Require a management plan that identifies and quantifies adverse conditions that temporarily restrict harvest or relay; (C) Be subject to oversight by the department of health; and (D) Require the management programs used in conditional growing areas to be subject to review and revision every three years based on the most up-to-date data and current environmental conditions; (2) A requirement that all shellfish growing areas complete a new, comprehensive sanitary survey every twelve years and be subject to re-classification at that time; (3) Species-specific requirements for relaying and depuration based on the most up-to-date science; and (4) Annual water quality testing of growing areas and pre-harvest screenings of shellfish during adverse conditions. SECTION 2. This Act shall take effect upon its approval. INTRODUCED BY: _____________________________
