Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2009

 

RE:   S.B. No. 1066

      S.D. 2

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1066, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE NATURAL ENERGY LABORATORY OF HAWAII AUTHORITY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to provide the tenants of the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) with a voice in decisions affecting the administration of NELHA by adding two tenant members to the NELHA board of directors, to be elected by the NELHA tenants.

 

     No testimony was received on this bill, however your Committee finds that the measure is a viable means of resolving an ongoing dispute in NELHA that has continued over a number of years.  Recognizing that there are other bills advancing through the legislative process that may affect this measure, your Committee has changed its effective date to July 1, 2112, to provide the flexibility to make any needed amendments.

 

     Technical, nonsubstantive amendments were also made for clarity, consistency, and style.


 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1066, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1066, S.D. 2, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
