HI HB193

Expands the definition of "farming operation" to include customary and traditional subsistence farming conducted by native Hawaiian cultural practitioners

Excludes concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and business entities with unclear or non-transparent ownership structures from the definition of "farming operation"

Requires farming operations seeking nuisance protection to have been established before surrounding non-agricultural activities, follow county-defined agricultural practices, and not cause significant environmental harm or public health concerns

Mandates public disclosure of ownership and beneficiary structures, including parent companies, for farming operations to receive legal protections under the Right to Farm Act

Gives counties authority to adopt ordinances governing agricultural practices that supersede state Right to Farm Act provisions, empowering local communities to set acceptable agricultural standards
