RE:   H.B. No. 927

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 927 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ROADWAY MATERIALS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to improve Hawaii's roads, enable more cost-effective recycling of asphalt pavements, and protect Hawaii's environment by allowing, rather than requiring:

 

     (1)  State agencies to purchase roadway materials with a minimum recycled glass content; and

    

     (2)  All highway and road construction projects funded by the State or a county or roadways accepted as public roads to use a minimum of ten percent crushed glass aggregate for all basecourse and subbase applications.

 

     The City and County of Honolulu Department of Design and Construction supported this bill. 

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive, amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 927, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 927, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
