RELATING TO DEPOSIT BEVERAGE CONTAINERS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 342G, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part VIII to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§342G- Risk-based selection process; audit. (a)
The department shall develop a risk-based process to select deposit beverage
distributor and redemption center reports submitted to the deposit beverage
container program for periodic audit.
The department may hire personnel or external consultants to perform
audits. In developing a risk-based
process to monitor deposit beverage distributors and redemption centers, the department
shall:
(1) Consider a
variety of risk factors, including the amount of money transacted, prior audit
findings, and frequency of the deposit beverage distributor's or redemption
center's prior audits;
(2) Require deposit beverage distributors to
send monthly distribution reports and supporting records, such as schedule of
invoices, shipping documents, and point-of-sale reports, to the deposit
beverage container program on a periodic basis; and
(3) Ensure that the
audit process includes a risk assessment derived from deposit beverage distributor
and redemption center data based on the reports submitted, including but not
limited to performing analytics and trend analyses to target certain deposit beverage
distributors and redemption centers with unusual fluctuations.
(b) The department shall:
(1) Summarize the results
of deposit beverage distributor and redemption center audits and assess whether
enforcement actions should be considered to ensure amounts that are being
reported are appropriate;
(2) Consider
conducting follow-up audits; and
(3) Consider public
announcements of violations.
(c) All deposit beverage distributors shall:
(1) Develop and
submit to the program for approval an internal control process to ensure that
accurate data is entered on the monthly distribution report and adequate
records are maintained; and
(2) Obtain independent
audits for years ending in an odd number."
SECTION 2. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
