RE:    S.R. No. 23

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.R. No. 23, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE STATE CAPITOL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE TO DESIGNATE THE HAWAII STATE CAPITOL BUILDING AND ITS GROUNDS AS A SINGLE-USE PLASTIC FREE ZONE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the State Capitol Management Committee to designate the Hawaii State Capitol building and grounds as a single-use plastic free zone.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from one individual.

 

     Your Committee finds that single-use plastics are detrimental to the State's environment and economy and to the health and well-being of both humans and animals.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 23, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.


 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
