RE: H.B. No. 2381

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.B. No. 2381 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WASTEWATER SYSTEMS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to streamline the approval of individual wastewater systems in home construction by:

(1) Allowing the Department of Health (DOH) to enter into agreements with any county to administer part or all of DOH's rules on the design, construction, and operation of sewage and treatment facilities; and

(2) Requiring fees collected by a county that has entered into an agreement with DOH to be deposited to the credit of the county, to the extent specified in the agreement.

DOH supported this bill.

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. 2381 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,
