Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives

State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 3092, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to the Department of Health to expand its solid waste management enforcement and monitoring capabilities and to allow persons who report illegal dumping activity to receive fifty per cent of the fines collected.
Your Committee on Conference notes the success of the CrimeStoppers program in reducing crime in remote and residential areas and intends that a similar result with illegal dumping will be achieved by the enactment of this measure.
Your Committee on Conference amended this measure by:
(1) Deleting the unspecified appropriation for expanding the Department of Health's solid waste management enforcement and monitoring capabilities;
(2) Specifying that the fines collected for illegal dumping will go to the enforcing agency, with fifty per cent of the fines collected to go to the person reporting the illegal activity; and
(3) Adding a purpose section.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3092, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3092, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
