Hawaii SB1118 aims to combat noise pollution by prohibiting businesses established after January 1, 2026, from using, renting, or offering for rent combustion engine-powered mopeds. The bill emphasizes the environmental and health benefits of transitioning to electric mopeds, citing their lower noise levels and operational costs. Businesses violating this provision face fines up to $1,000 per offense, with each moped involved counting as a separate offense.
