URGING EVERY STATE AGENCY THAT MONITORS ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS AND POLLUTANTS TO FOLLOW CERTAIN PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MODIFICATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION LEVELS.

This Senate Resolution urges state agencies in Hawaii that monitor environmental toxins to establish and modify safety limits, known as environmental action levels, with greater transparency and scientific rigor. It requires agencies to base any changes on current scientific evidence and mandates a public process that includes at least thirty days for comment and public hearings before adjustments are made. The bill also allows residents to petition for changes to these limits and demands that agencies provide clear scientific justifications for their decisions to ensure public safety.
