Dear Friends,

Thank you for your interest in our government.

It is a tremendous honor to represent the East Maui, Lanai, and Molokai communities at the Hawaii State House of Representatives. I will make every effort to address your concerns and deliver important news from the Legislature.

Your input in ways the Legislature conducts the public's business is always appreciated.

Sincerely,
Mele Carroll
State Representative
13th District
 

TOPICS OF INTEREST

  • Taro Security. Rep. Carroll introduced H.B. No. 1663 which prohibits the development, testing, propagation, release, importation, planting, or growing of genetically engineered Hawaiian taro in the State of Hawaii. The bill also prevents non-Hawaiian taro from being genetically engineered unless very strict guidelines are adhered to. Read more about this bill in an April 18, 2009, article in The Maui News.

  • Noxious Weeds. Rep. Carroll helped introduce a measure, enacted into law as Act 40, SLH 2008, that allows the Department of Agriculture to regulate or prohibit the sale of specific plants on the restricted list, and prohibits the sale of noxious weeds, provided that noxious weeds may be imported only for research, by permit.
