Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.C.R. No. 92

H.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2024

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Agriculture and Environment and Public Safety and Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 92, H.D. 1, entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE ISSUE OF ILLEGAL DUMPING WITHIN THE WAIPAHU COMMUNITY AND URGING THE STATE, CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, AND MILITARY TO WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to:

(1) Recognize the issue of illegal dumping within the Waipahu community; and

(2) Urge the State, City and County of Honolulu, and military to work together to address the issue of illegal dumping within the Waipahu community.

Your Committees received comments on this measure from the Department of Health.

Your Committees find that illegal dumping in Waipahu not only poses a hazardous environmental risk to residents and visitors of the community, but for neighboring residents as well. This measure is necessary to protect the public health and safety of the people and the environment of the State.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Agriculture and Environment and Public Safety and Intergovernmental and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 92, H.D. 1, and recommend its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Agriculture and Environment and Public Safety and Intergovernmental and Military Affairs,
