Bill > SR53

This Resolution requests the Hawaii Department of Education to actively enforce the existing prohibition against excessive vehicle idling, which means leaving a vehicle's engine running unnecessarily for extended periods, and to create safe procedures for dropping off and picking up children at schools. The resolution highlights that vehicle emissions are a major source of pollution, contributing to climate change and harming human health, especially children whose lungs are still developing and who are closer to tailpipes. The Department of Education is being asked to ensure these procedures protect children from harmful exhaust fumes.
