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.
