                                 RE: H.B. No. 1350
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred H.B. No. 1350, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE USE OF RECYCLED OIL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to promote the use of recycled
products by state and county procurement agencies by requiring
procurement officers to purchase lubricating and industrial oil
from a seller whose oil contains the greatest percentage of
recycled oil.

     Testimony in support of this bill was received from the
Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism
(DBEDT), Department of Health, Na Leo Pohai, Cool As New Hawaii
Inc., Hawaii Automotive Repair & Gasoline Dealers Association,
Hon Hawaii, H&H Environmental Services, Inc., and Pacific Island
Petroleum, Inc.

     Your Committee finds that federal procurement laws currently
require the use of recycled oil by federal agencies and
contractors who are awarded federal contracts.  Your Committee
also finds that this measure will create new business and
employment opportunities in the State.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to
this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and

 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 809

purpose of H.B. No. 1350, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass
Third Reading.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Judiciary &
                                   Hawaiian Affairs,



                                   ______________________________
