The Honolulu City council is proposing a bill that would give a $500 fine and/or up to six months of jail for neglecting personal hygiene.This would include body odor, offensive smells, or animals.
According to the AP, the bill would make it illegal to have "odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system." The bill is set to be heard in committee on Thursday.

My question is- WHO gets to determine that a person's smell is bad enough to impose a fine and/or jail time? And how strong of a bad smell on a person or their animal is deserving of that?
What do YOU think? COMMENT.
My words are up.
I guess they'll hire 'smell' detectives!
