Bill > SB2576

This bill prohibits lodging establishments in Hawaii from providing personal care products (such as shampoo, hair conditioner, or bath soap) in small plastic containers within sleeping room accommodations, any space within sleeping room accommodations, or bathrooms used by the public or guests. Lodging establishments can instead use bulk dispensers or provide personal care products packaged in non-plastic materials upon request. The bill establishes civil penalties for violations and allows counties to enact stricter ordinances. The bill aims to reduce harmful plastic waste and make Hawaii's visitor industry more sustainable.
