It is limited to agricultural buildings, it is limited in the personnel who can investigate, it is limited as to <br />purpose, and it puts the burden on government to seek court oversight if there is a dispute. <br />1 support SB 940 and urge its adoption. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Harry Kim <br />MAYOR <br />I�- <br />County. of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
