Subject: Bill 167 Personal Testimony- Kendyll Howard
Aloha Chair Maile David and Co-Chair Aaron Chung and members of the County Council,
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.
Mahalo!
