Subject: Bill 167 letter of SUPPORT
Chair Maile David, Co-Chair Aaron Chung, and members of the County Council,
I am writing to you to strongly encourage you to pass Bill 167. 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
I am in Strong Support of Bill 167. 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. 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.
