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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred S.B. No. 2545 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GLASS RECOVERY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to improve compliance with, and
enforcement of, the glass advance disposal fee law by clarifying
that all glass importers are subject to record keeping
requirements and inspection by the Department of Health,
regardless of whether they are registered with the Department of
Health.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
State Department of Health and Hawaii Food Industry Association.

     Your Committee finds that the provisions of this bill will
promote compliance with, and enforcement of, the glass recovery
law.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by adding language
to Section 1 clarifying the purpose of the Act.

     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
purpose of S.B. No. 2545, as amended herein, and recommend that
it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 2545, H.D. 1.
