Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 2681
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2020
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development & Business, to which was referred H.B. No. 2681 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ENERGY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that the State established a goal of achieving one hundred percent clean energy by 2045. The development and deployment of hydrogen infrastructure will serve to further expand the State's renewable energy portfolio and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. This measure will make available revenue bond authority that would be a strategic revenue source for hydrogen infrastructure.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2112, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2681, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2681, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development & Business,
