RE:    S.B. No. 3006

       S.D. 2

       H.D. 2

       C.D. 1

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 3006, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE TIRES,"

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 establish a task force to study ways to prevent or control the problem of abandoned tires that litter the State.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that the problem of illegal tire dumping is particularly evident in rural or isolated areas.  Although organized cleanups may effectively clear the land, the results are often temporary, and refuse tires simply pile up once more.  Consequently, your Committee on Conference finds that the generation of new and innovative ideas to address this problem is of critical importance.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Adding representatives from the Naval Facilities Engineering Command and Ka Wai Ola O Waianae to the membership of the task force; and

     (2)  Changing the effective date to upon approval.

     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. 3006, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3006, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
