, 2004

RE: H.R. No. 191

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.R. No. 191 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO REPEAL THE CHANGES MADE BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION TO THE CLEAN AIR ACT IN 2002,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the United States Congress to repeal the changes, including the delay for cleaning up power plant mercury emissions and a standard that is far weaker than the maximum achievable control technology standard and is not protective of public health, made by the Bush Administration to the Clean Air Act in 2002.

The Hawaii State Representative for the thirty-third district and The Life of the Land submitted testimony in support of this measure.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 191 and recommends its adoption.

 

 

 

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