Subject: SUPPORT for BILL 167
May 20, 2022
Bill 167 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14 OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE 1983 (2016
EDITION, AS AMENDED), BY ADDING A NEW ARTICLE RELATING TO PROHIBITION OF NON-
MINERAL SUNSCREEN
Dear Chair Maile David, Co-Chair Aaron Chung, and members of the County Council:
I am in Strong Support of Bill 167. Healthy coral reefs are what protect our island's coastal infrastructure, beaches,
and community. The chemical compounds that are contained in non-mineral sunscreen inhibit and prevent coral
growth and degrade the integrity of our reefs. The purpose of this ordinance is 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.
Mahalo, N �`?
