S.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature

State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 186, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION DESIGNATING APRIL AS TREE AWARENESS MONTH IN THE STATE OF HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to designate April as Tree Awareness Month in the State.
Your Committee finds that trees have been
identified as an important tool to combat global climate change, reduce
society's carbon footprint, and help communities become healthier. This measure builds awareness of the many
benefits of trees and provides community building and educational and economic
opportunities through related events.
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 S.C.R. No. 186, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection,
