HI HB606

Establishes a 10-year moratorium on taking aquarium fish from Hawaii state waters until June 30, 2025, prohibiting all collection regardless of existing permits.

Defines "aquarium fish" to include salt water fish, freshwater nongame fish, and other aquatic life intended for captivity as pets, scientific study, public display, or sale.

Amends section 188-31 to make all future aquarium fish permits subject to the moratorium prohibition.

Requires the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to provide assistance, training, and employment services to workers whose primary income comes from aquarium fish collection and are dislocated by the moratorium.

Takes effect upon approval; does not affect rights, penalties, or proceedings that arose before the effective date.
