Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.B. No. 1726 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ENERGY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to extend the repeal date of the energy systems development special fund to June 30, 2015, to match the repeal date of the environmental response, energy, and food security tax, which is its primary source of funding.

 

     The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism, the Public Utilities Commission, and the University of Hawaii System testified in support of this measure.  The Blue Planet Foundation and Enterprise Honolulu testified in support of this measure with amendments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1726 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

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