HRS §209E-14
Protecting farm businesses from unexpected disasters
This section says that if a farming or food processing business can't meet its tax incentive requirements because of an unexpected disaster, it won't lose its benefits. The business stays eligible during the disaster, and the time limit for benefits is extended. The business must tell the state as soon as possible about the disaster.
