A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE STATE INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the State's integrated solid waste management goals are to reduce the solid waste stream prior to disposal through source reduction, recycling, and bioconversion. The state integrated solid waste management plan furthers the State's waste management goals and ensures progress toward managing the State's waste. Plan elements include but are not limited to an assessment of existing waste management systems and identification of solid waste management issues.
The legislature further finds that section 342G-29, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the office of solid waste management to prepare revisions to the state integrated solid waste management plan following the approval and review of each revised county-specific plan. While each county has completed its plan revisions, the revision process has been delayed due to a lack of funds.
The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to support the revision of the state integrated solid waste management plan, thus furthering the State's waste management goals and ensuring progress toward managing the State's waste.
SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2015-2016 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2016-2017 to support the revision of the state integrated solid waste management plan.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of health for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2053.
Report Title:
State Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan; Appropriation
