STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3385

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.R. No. 18

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Water, Land, and Housing and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.R. No. 18 entitled:

 

"SENATE RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING STATE AND COUNTY AGENCIES AND OTHER LARGE WATER USERS TO CONSERVE OUTDOOR LANDSCAPE WATER USE AND TO ADOPT THE LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY COUNCIL OF HAWAII'S IRRIGATION WATER CONSERVATION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO CONSERVE OUTDOOR LANDSCAPE WATER USE,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to promote the conservation of water by encouraging state and county agencies and other large water users to adopt the Landscape Industry Council of Hawaii's Irrigation Water Conservation Best Management Practices for outdoor landscape use.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and Irrigation Hawaii Limited.

 

     Your Committees find that water is one of our most valuable resources and that it is therefore important to actively promote practical water conservation and efficiency measures.  Landscaping in government, resort, commercial, institutional, residential, recreational, and other settings consume a substantial amount of water.  This measure promotes practices that will protect our water supply.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Amending its title; and

 

     (2)  Making other technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, and Housing and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 18, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.R. No. 18, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, and Housing and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs,
