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




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Labor and Environment, 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 measure is to require state and county
procurement agencies to purchase recycled lubricating and
industrial oil.

     Testimony supporting this measure was received from the
Department of Health, the Department of Business, Economic
Development, and Tourism, Na Leo Pohai, the Hawaii Automotive
Repair and Gasoline Dealers Association, Cool as New Hawaii Inc.,
Pacific Island Petroleum, Inc., Hon/Hawaii, and HH Environmental
Services.

     Your Committee finds that the use of recycled oil products
enhances the State's commitment to using environmentally
responsible products, technologies, and management practices.
These practices set a positive example for business and industry
as well as create a demand for a new industry in Hawaii.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Labor and Environment that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 1350, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second
Reading and be referred to the Committee on Government Operations
and Housing.
