Bill Summary
RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO EXAMINE ISSUES AND BARRIERS TO ENFORCEMENT TO REDUCE NOISE FROM TWO-STROKE ENGINES, MOPEDS, AND SMALL OFF-ROAD ENGINES AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE LEGISLATURE TO HELP REDUCE NOISE POLLUTION FROM THESE SOURCES. .
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution requests the Department of Health to investigate the problems and obstacles that prevent effective enforcement of rules aimed at reducing noise from two-stroke engines, mopeds, and small off-road engines, such as those used in lawn and garden equipment. The resolution acknowledges that noise pollution is a significant issue in Hawaii, impacting residents' health and quality of life, and that current regulations are not adequately addressing the problem, especially with modified engines and the widespread use of such equipment. The Department of Health is specifically asked to consider incentives, like commercial rebates, to encourage the switch to quieter, zero-emission alternatives and is required to submit a report with its findings and recommendations, including any proposed new laws, to the Legislature before the 2023 session begins.
