Subject: Bill 167 testimony
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.
