                                   RE:  H.B. No. 2530
                                        H.D. 1
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B.
No. 2530, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AIR POLLUTION CONTROL PUBLIC
     NOTIFICATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to require public notice of air
pollution control matters to be published once in the affected
county instead of twice.

     Your Committee finds that the current requirement of a twice
weekly publication appeared to have been an error in the bill
that became Act 2, Session Laws of 1998.  There is no need for
the twice weekly publication, the elimination of which would
reduce costs without harm to the public.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by requiring that the
notice be placed on the Department of Health's web site in an
easily-locatable manner to assist the public in becoming informed
of the proposed actions.

     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.
2530, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass

 
a                                                     HB2530 SD1

Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2530, H.D.
1, S.D. 1.

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