The board finds that there exists serious danger to the agricultural, horticultural, and aquacultural industries, natural resources, and environment of Hawaii by the uncontrolled introduction of feral and other non-domestic animals.
(a) The introduction into Hawaii of live animals or live non-domestic animals as defined in this chapter is only allowed:
(1) For those animals on the list designated as conditionally-approved and dated November 18, 1998, or on the list designated as restricted entry, dated November 18, 1998, pursuant to section I50A-6(b), HRS, both of which lists are located at the end of this chapter and made a part of this section;
(2) By permit approved by the board or chief pursuant to sections 4-71-3 and 4-71-4; and
(3) After securing appropriate bond for certain animals pursuant to sections 4-71-7, 4-71-8, and 4-71-9.
(b) Pursuant to the requirements of subsection (a) herein, the introduction of animals on the lists of conditionally-approved or restricted animals is allowed as follows:
(1) Animals on the list of conditionally-approved animals, for individual possession, businesses, or institutions;
(2) Animals on Part A of the list of restricted animals, for research by universities or government agencies, exhibition in municipal zoos or government-affiliated aquariums, for other institutions for medical or scientific purposes as determined by the board, or for other purposes as specified in this chapter; and
(3) Animals on Part B of the list of restricted animals, for the purposes described in subsection (b)(2) herein or for private and commercial use, including research, zoological parks, or aquaculture production.
(c) The introduction of unlisted animals for the purpose of conducting scientific research that is not detrimental to agriculture, the environment, or humans requires a special permit on a case-by-case basis for import and possession if the importer can meet permit requirements or other guidelines as determined by the board pursuant to section 150A-6(b), HRS.
(d) The introduction of unlisted animals for the purpose of filming, performance, or exhibition requires a short-term special permit on a case-by-case basis not to exceed 90 days for importation and possession if the importer can meet permit and bonding requirements as determined by the board pursuant to section 150A-6(b), HRS.
(e) The permittee shall obtain prior site approval for animals on the list of restricted animals and for unlisted animals under special permit as determined by the board.
(f) Restricted list animals and unlisted animals under special permit as determined by the board require a permit for both import and possession. Where a permit for a restricted list animal allows transfer cr sale, the proposed transferee shall first obtain a permit for possession of the animal by application to the chief, site inspection approval, and satisfaction of any bond or other requirements applicable.
(g) The board may establish permit conditions including but not limited to, time, place, location, use, special precautions, health requirements, and safeguarding the animal from escape, unauthorized release, or theft, as well as any applicable requirements of municipal, state or federal laws. The permittee shall comply with the requirements of this chapter, chapter 150A, HRS, and specific permit conditions established by the board.
