SR 133 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO ADOPT RULES AUTHORIZING RODEOS ON LANDS ZONED FOR AGRICULTURAL USE.

This Senate Resolution (SR 133) requests the Department of Land and Natural Resources to adopt rules permitting rodeos on lands zoned for agricultural use. It does not create new law but asks the agency to establish regulatory guidelines. The resolution cites Hawaii's historical paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) culture and a 1908 rodeo victory by Hawaiian cowboys as context for the request. It specifically targets agricultural zoning rules, not general land use.
