Sir:
Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 87 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(2) Changing its title to read: "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM TO ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL MERITS AND BENEFITS OF THE ENERGY COOPERATIVE MODEL FOR THE ISLAND OF HAWAII"; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 87, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 87, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection,
