HOUSE CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
REQUESTING THE JUDICIARY TO ESTABLISH A SEPARATE calendar FOR CASES THAT INVOLVE ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
WHEREAS, cases that involve environmental issues or applications of environmental law are currently dealt with in several different courts within the Judiciary; and
WHEREAS, this organizational structure inadvertently promotes inconsistent application of the wide variety of environmental laws; and
WHEREAS, the continued maintenance and improvement of Hawaii's environment requires constant vigilance and continued stewardship to ensure its lasting beauty, uniqueness, and stability of its natural systems; and
WHEREAS, Hawaii's natural environment would be more effectively preserved and protected through consistent and uniform application of the State' environmental laws by consolidating environmental cases into a separate calendar; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-fourth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2008, the Senate concurring, that the Judiciary is requested to establish a separate calendar for cases that involve environmental matters and the application or interpretation of environmental law; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Administrative Director of the Courts.
