RE:   S.C.R. No. 74

      S.D. 1

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 74, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO CONVENE A TASK FORCE OR WORKING GROUP TO EXAMINE LOCAL ALTERNATIVES TO SHIPPING GLASS OUT OF STATE, DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY AND COSTS OF SUCH LOCAL ALTERNATIVES COMPARED TO SHIPPING THE GLASS OUT OF STATE, AND RECOMMEND ANY CHANGES TO THE ADVANCE DISPOSAL FEE AND REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT AN AUDIT OF THE ADVANCE DISPOSAL FEE PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Health to convene a task force or working group to examine local alternatives to shipping glass out of state, determine the feasibility and costs of such local alternatives compared to shipping the glass out of state, and recommend any changes to the advance disposal fee and requesting the auditor to conduct an audit of the advance disposal fee program.

 

Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this concurrent resolution to reflect the substantive language of HCR 207 H.D.1 which removes references to the task force and retains provisions requiring the Auditor to conduct an audit of the disposal fee program.  Your Committee has also:

 

(1)  Amended its title to read: "REQUESTING AN EXAMINATION AND AUDIT OF THE ADVANCE DISPOSAL FEE PROGRAM."; and

 

(2)  Made technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.  

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 74, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 74, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

 

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