Case Notes
Read in the context of the larger statutory scheme of the Hawaii pesticides law, which clearly demonstrated legislative intent to create a uniform system of pesticide regulation administered by the state department of agriculture, the court interpreted this section as authorizing counties to assist in enforcing pesticide regulations established by the State, and not an authorization for counties to issue supplemental regulations on pesticides. 842 F.3d 669 (2016).
