Subject: Bill 167 PROHIBITION OF NON-MINERAL SUNSCREEN
RE: 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.
