RE: S.B. No. 3084

S.D. 2

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2020

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 3084, S.D. 1, entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to codify the State's Aloha+ Challenge goal of reducing the State's solid waste stream prior to disposal by seventy percent by 2030.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Health and one individual.

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:

(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and

(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

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 is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3084, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3084, S.D. 2.

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