H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2020

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred S.B. No. 3084, S.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to establish a solid waste management goal of reducing the State's solid waste stream prior to disposal by seventy percent by 2030.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Health, Kahana Foundation, and Pono Hawaii Initiative. Your Committee received comments on this measure from PVT Land Company.

Your Committee finds that codifying the Aloha+ Challenge's goal of achieving a seventy percent reduction in the State's solid waste stream prior to disposal will help to accomplish the Challenge's overall goal of making the State's economy more secure, sustainable, and resilient by 2030.

Your Committee has amended this measure by making it effective upon approval.

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 is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3084, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3084, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection,
