STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2568

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 2110

S.D. 2

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 2110, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAZARDOUS WASTE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to require automotive parts stores to accept used motor oil for recycling or disposal.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i.

Your Committee finds that this measure will promote a sustainable society and engage citizens in recycling efforts. Your Committee finds that allowing retail automotive parts stores to collect a reasonable fee for used oil collection will alleviate the burden placed on these retailers.

Your Committee has amended this measure by replacing references to "used motor oil" with "used oil from motor vehicles" for purposes of clarity, as "used oil" is a term defined in section 342J-51, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2110, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2110, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health,
