Bill 118 s 2183, also known as the Red Hill Health Impact Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress.

The bill also includes provisions for increased monitoring and reporting requirements to ensure that the facility is operating in a safe and responsible manner. Overall, the Red Hill Health Impact Act is aimed at addressing the health impacts of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility and ensuring the safety of the drinking water supply for the residents of Oahu. It represents an important step towards protecting public health and the environment in Hawaii.
