Subject: Bill 167 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14 OF THE HAWAI'I COUNTY CODE 1983
(2016 EDITION, AS AMENDED), BY ADDING A NEW ARTICLE RELATING TO PROHIBITION OF
NON-MINERAL SUNSCREEN
Attn: Chair Maile David and 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.
