To: Council Testimony
Subject: Strong Support of Bill 167
Dear Chair Maile David and Co-Chair Aaron Chung and members of the County Council,
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
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.
