Kauai Council Defers Bill 2491 on GMOs, Again

By /

More than 12 hours into a committee meeting, the Kauai County Council opted Monday to defer — for the second time — a bill that would allow the county to regulate pesticide use and genetically modified organisms on the island.

The council’s Economic Development (Agriculture) Committee will resume discussion on Bill 2491 on Sept. 27, when members will likely introduce several amendments that were floated this week. Read more.
