Prohibits using geographic origins of coffee in labeling or advertising for roasted or instant coffee that contains less than a certain percentage of coffee by weight from that geographic origin, phased in to a minimum of fifty-one per cent on or after 7/1/2026. Excludes roasted or instant coffee produced in whole or in part from Hawaii-grown green coffee beans that are not offered for retail sale directly to consumers from labeling requirements. Prohibits use of the term "All Hawaiian" in labeling or advertising for roasted or instant coffee not produced entirely from green coffee beans grown and processed in the State. Authorizes retailers who, by 6/30/2024, purchase roasted or instant coffee blends that use a geographic origin in labeling or advertising containing less than twenty per cent Hawaii-grown coffee by weight to sell-off coffee inventory until 12/31/2024.
