Bill > SCR75

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Department of Health, Hawaii's state agency responsible for public health and environmental protection, to give top priority to enforcing rules that prevent water pollution, especially in rural areas of Molokai that have already experienced reports of runoff. Runoff refers to water flowing over the land surface, which can carry pollutants like silt and debris into waterways and coastal areas, potentially harming marine life like coral reefs, as evidenced by past damage to reefs on Kauai and Molokai. The resolution also requests the Department of Health to report back to the Legislature on its actions and recommendations by a specific date.
