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 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.
