Hawaii SB110 amends state water protection laws to address the Supreme Court's recent limitation on the federal definition of "navigable waters" under the Clean Water Act.

It also prohibits the discharge of water pollutants into state waters, except in compliance with state laws or permits issued by the director of health.
