Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 134 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING AND USING A SOLAR POWERED HIGHWAY LIGHTING SYSTEM ALONG HAWAII'S HIGHWAYS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to request the State Department of Transportation to determine the feasibility of establishing and using a solar powered highway lighting system along Hawaii's highways.

     The State Department of Transportation supports the use of clean, renewable energy but does not support this resolution.

     A concerned individual submitted testimony in support of this measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 134 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
