HB 965 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO MICROPLASTICS.

HB 965 creates a rebate program administered by the Department of Land and Natural Resources to help businesses and property owners cover costs for installing microplastic filtration systems that remove tiny plastic particles from water. The bill provides financial assistance directly to applicants who purchase qualifying filtration equipment, aiming to reduce microplastic pollution in water systems. This policy change focuses on incentivizing practical solutions for microplastic removal rather than imposing new regulations.
