AI Summary
This bill proposes to prohibit the sale and use of disposable air filters in Hawaii beginning January 1, 2030, by adding a new part to Chapter 196 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. The bill defines a "disposable air filter" as a filter intended for single use in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and a "reusable air filter" as a washable filter that can be used multiple times. Starting in 2030, it will be unlawful to sell, offer for sale, distribute, or use disposable air filters in the state. Additionally, the bill requires the State to establish a new air filter standard that recognizes the advantages of reusable air filters, including their durability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits. This standard will make reusable air filters the mandatory type for all air filters sold, offered for sale, distributed, or used in Hawaii. The legislation aims to reduce waste and promote more sustainable air filtration solutions by phasing out single-use air filters and encouraging the adoption of reusable alternatives.
