Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1333, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ENERGY,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to require and appropriate funds for the Hawaii State Energy Office, in consultation with the Department of Health, to conduct a comprehensive study to determine best practices for disposal and recycling of discarded clean energy products in the State.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Specifying that the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, rather than the Hawaii State Energy Office, shall conduct a comprehensive study to determine best practices for disposal, recycling, or secondary use of clean energy products in the State;

 

     (2)  Deleting language that would have appropriated funds to conduct the comprehensive study;

 

     (3)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2021; and

 

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1333, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1333, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
