RE: H.B. No. 101
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2015
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.B. No. 101 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO RECYCLING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that requiring state and county agencies to facilitate recycling efforts will help remove more material from the solid waste stream and protect the environment from pollution.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Requiring the Department of Accounting and General Services to coordinate with and provide assistance to each county in implementing the measure's requirements; and
(2) Clarifying that state and county agencies shall reasonably provide and maintain onsite methods for collecting and recycling deposit beverage containers and for solid waste disposal.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 101, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 101, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection,
