HI HB1334

Creates a new exemption in Chapter 159 allowing hunters to donate wild game meat (including axis deer) to charitable, religious, or nonprofit organizations for distribution to needy persons without requiring state meat inspection.

Wild game donations must remain separate from federally regulated meat and poultry products and cannot be combined with inspected meat food products.

Limits transportation of wild game to movement between the kill site, processing establishment, and the receiving charitable, religious, or nonprofit organization.

Clarifies that Chapter 145D (food donation protections) and the new wild game exemption do not restrict the Department of Health or Department of Agriculture from regulating, inspecting, or banning donated foods.

Takes effect December 31, 2050.
