To: Council Testimony
Subject: Bill 167, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14 OF THE HAWAI'I COUNTY CODE 1983.
(2016 EDITION, AS AMENDED), BY ADDING A NEW ARTICLE RELATING TO PROHIBITION OF
NON-MINERAL SUNSCREEN.
Direct testimony to
-Chair Rebecca Villegas,
-Co-Chair Heather Kimball, and members of the Committee on Climate Resilience & Natural Management.
Healthy coral reefs protect our island's coastal infrastructure, beaches, and community.The chemical compounds
contained in non-mineral sunscreen inhibit coral growth and degrade the integrity of our reefs.
This ordinance aims to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of humans and the environment by allowing only mineral
sunscreens to be provided, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the County.
I submit my testimony in strong support of Bill 167. ; ;
