A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to energy-efficient lighting.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 103D-410, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"[[]§103D-410[]]
Energy efficiency through life-cycle costing. (a) The procurement
practices of the State shall include energy efficient standards and policies,
including life-cycle costing.
(b) In implementing life-cycle costing, the purchasing agency shall be guided by energy efficiency standards and policies for purchasing various items developed and promulgated by the United States Department of Energy and other federal agencies, and nationally recognized trade associations, including but not limited to the National Association of State Purchasing Officials, the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, Inc., the National Association of Purchasing Management, and the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute. The purchasing agency shall notify bidders of information, procedures, and forms required in implementing energy efficiency standards and policies. The information required shall include purchasing standards and policies developed by federal agencies and by nationally recognized agencies and associations, as well as energy consumption and life-cycle cost data.
(c) The purchasing agency shall consider purchasing via the life-cycle costing method those classes of items for which nationally recognized energy efficiency data have been developed. These items shall include but not be limited to automobiles and air conditioning systems. The watt-saving variety of common-sized fluorescent lamps shall be purchased except where standard wattage of those lamps is specifically required by the using agency.
(d) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, by January 1, 2010, all state agencies shall replace all older incandescent light bulbs in use in all state facilities with ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs, light-emitting diode lighting products, and advanced energy-efficient incandescent light bulbs.
The term "ENERGY STAR" has the same meaning as that term is defined in section 196-11."
SECTION 2. Section 196-23, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) [Agencies] Except as
provided in section 103D-410, agencies shall select, when life-cycle
cost-effective, ENERGY STAR and other energy efficient products when acquiring
energy-using products. For product groups where ENERGY STAR labels are not yet
available, agencies may select products that are in the upper twenty-five per
cent of energy efficiency as designated by the United States Department of
Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, federal energy
management program."
SECTION 3. Within thirty days after the enactment of this Act, the director of business, economic development, and tourism, as energy resources coordinator, shall undertake a public education and awareness campaign to inform businesses and individual consumers of the benefits of using ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs, light-emitting diode lighting products, and advanced energy-efficient incandescent light bulbs. The term "ENERGY STAR" has the same meaning as that term is defined in section 196-11. In conducting this public education campaign, the director shall utilize both electronic and print media and any other methods deemed appropriate.
SECTION 4. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
