(AP) — A bill in Hawaiʻi that would require at least 10% of state-bought produce to be local has passed both the House and Senate. KHON-TV reported Friday that the bill introduced by Democratic state Rep. Scot Matayoshi will now head to Gov. David Ige’s desk for approval. The measure aims to ensure that state funds directly support local businesses. The legislation would mandate that a minimum of 10% of produce purchased by state departments be grown locally by 2025. That percentage requirement would increase every five years to 50% by 2050.
