Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B.
No. 1012, H.D. 1, entitled:

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE CLEAN HAWAII FUND,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to establish the Clean Hawaii
fund to market and promote processing and manufacturing
industries for recycled materials.

     The creation of the Clean Hawaii Fund gives the Department
of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism the ability to
promote local businesses that use collected recyclable materials.
The clean Hawaii center, the purpose of which was also to promote
local processing and manufacturing using recyclable materials,
will be sunsetted on June 30, 1999.  The creation of the Clean
Hawaii fund will allow its moneys to be turned over to the
department for the same purpose.

     Your Committee has amended the bill by:

     (1)  Making all of the Act's provisions take effect on
          June 28, 1999;

     (2)  Eliminating redundant language; and


 
a                                                     HB1012 SD1
 
 
                                   STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1407
                                   Page 2


     (3)  Making other technical nonsubstantive amendments.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
1012, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1012, H.D.
1, S.D. 1.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,



                                 ________________________________
