Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 2540
H.D. 2
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Health & Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 2540, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CESSPOOLS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to reduce nonpoint contamination source pollution created by cesspools by establishing the Hawaii Cesspool Remediation and Conversion Loan Program (Cesspool Remediation Program) to provide low interest loans for the upgrade or conversion of cesspools to septic systems or aerobic treatment unit systems or for connection of cesspools to existing sewer systems or other wastewater system as approved by the Department of Health.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Authorizing, rather than requiring, the Department of Health to provide low interest loans through the Cesspool Remediation Program; and
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health & Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2540, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2540, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health & Human Services,
