Hawaii SB359 amends definitions for "weed whacker" and "leaf blower" in state law.

Hawaii SB359 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to redefine "weed whacker" as a gasoline or electric powered yard tool using a flexible monofilament line or revolving metal cutting blade to cut or trim grass and vegetation. It also defines "leaf blower" as a machine used to clear leaves, dirt, or debris from sidewalks, driveways, lawns, and other surfaces. The bill specifies that "residential zone" includes residential districts, apartment districts, and business mixed-use districts as defined in state law or county ordinance. The changes take effect upon approval of the Act.
