Keep Our Hawaii Litter-Free!

By Rep. Jon Riki Karamatsu
Vice Speaker
District 41 - Waipahu, Village Park, Waikele

The 2006 Hawaii State Legislature passed HB 1955 which was signed into law as Act 158 by Governor Lingle. It increases the mandatory fines for littering violations, including littering from a motor vehicle, littering in public, and criminal littering. You can help in alleviating the waste in our neighborhoods and landfills in the following ways:
