                                 RE: H.B. No. 2201
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection, to
which was referred H.B. No. 2201 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTRICAL COOPERATIVES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     H.B. No. 2201 was introduced as a short-form bill, which is
sometimes referred to as a "vehicle" bill primarily used to
introduce a bill containing only a general idea as to the purpose
of the bill without specific details in long form.

     Your Committee has amended the bill to provide the
substantive contents of the bill in long form so that a public
hearing may be properly held on its substantive contents.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection that is attached
to this report, your Committee is in accord with the action to
report out H.B. No. 2201, as amended herein, and recommends that
it be recommitted to the Committee on Energy and Environmental
Protection, for the purpose of holding a public hearing thereon,
in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2201, H.D. 1.

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Energy and
                                   Environmental Protection,



                                   ______________________________
