Hawaii SB2415 establishes a pilot project to test drinking water for microplastics at four Oahu elementary schools.

Hawaii SB2415 aims to address the growing concern of microplastic pollution in Hawaii's water by funding a one-year pilot project. The Department of Health will test drinking water for microplastics at four Oahu elementary schools: Iliahi, Wahiawa, Kaala, and Helemano. The test results will be analyzed by a certified laboratory and posted on the department's website by December 31, 2026. The pilot project will dissolve after the test results are published. The bill allocates $25,000 for this initiative, which will take effect on July 1, 2026.
