A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to recycling.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 196, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part III to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§196- Hawaii recycling program. No later than January 1, 2011, the department of accounting and general services shall establish a mandatory recycling program for all state buildings and facilities, including public schools and the University of Hawaii. The recycling program shall include all recyclable paper products, electronic devices, plastics, furniture, and all other recyclable items. The energy resources coordinator, the department of education, and the administration of the University of Hawaii shall cooperate with the department of accounting and general services to develop and implement the program."
SECTION 2. Section 196-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) With regard to buildings and facilities, each agency shall:
(1) Design and construct buildings meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver or two green globes rating system or another comparable state‑approved, nationally recognized, and consensus‑based guideline, standard, or system, except when the guideline, standard, or system interferes or conflicts with the use of the building or facility as an emergency shelter;
(2) Incorporate energy‑efficiency measures to prevent heat gain in residential facilities up to three stories in height to provide R-19 or equivalent on roofs, R-ll or equivalent in walls, and high-performance windows to minimize heat gain and, if air conditioned, minimize cool air loss. R-value is the constant time rate resistance to heat flow through a unit area of a body induced by a unit temperature difference between the surfaces. R-values measure the thermal resistance of building envelope components such as roof and walls. The higher the R-value, the greater the resistance to heat flow. Where possible, buildings shall be oriented to maximize natural ventilation and day-lighting without heat gain and to optimize solar for water heating. This provision shall apply to new residential facilities built using any portion of state funds or located on state lands;
(3) Install solar water heating systems where it is cost-effective, based on a comparative analysis to determine the cost-benefit of using a conventional water heating system or a solar water heating system. The analysis shall be based on the projected life cycle costs to purchase and operate the water heating system. If the life cycle analysis is positive, the facility shall incorporate solar water heating. If water heating entirely by solar is not cost-effective, the analysis shall evaluate the life cycle, cost-benefit of solar water heating for preheating water. If a multi-story building is centrally air conditioned, heat recovery shall be employed as the primary water heating system. Single family residential clients of the department of Hawaiian home lands and any agency or program that can take advantage of utility rebates shall be exempted from the requirements of this paragraph so they may continue to qualify for utility rebates for solar water heating;
(4) Implement water and energy efficiency practices in operations to reduce waste and increase conservation;
(5) Incorporate principles of waste minimization and
pollution prevention, such as reducing, revising, and recycling as a standard
operating practice in programs, including programs for waste management in
construction and demolition projects and [office paper and packaging
recycling programs;] the Hawaii recycling program established in section
196- ;
(6) Use life cycle cost-benefit analysis to purchase energy efficient equipment such as ENERGY STAR products and use utility rebates where available to reduce purchase and installation costs; and
(7) Procure environmentally preferable products, including recycled and recycled-content, bio-based, and other resource-efficient products and materials."
SECTION 3. Section 342G-104, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) Moneys in the deposit beverage container deposit special fund shall be used to reimburse refund values, pay handling fees to redemption centers, fund the reverse vending machine rebate program under section 342G-102.5, and fund the redemption center and recycling infrastructure improvement program established pursuant to section 342G-114.5. The department may also use the money to:
(1) Fund administrative, audit, and compliance activities associated with collection and payment of the deposits and handling fees of the deposit beverage container program;
(2) Conduct recycling education and demonstration projects;
(3) Promote recyclable market development activities;
(4) Support the handling and transportation of the deposit beverage containers to end-markets;
(5) Hire personnel to oversee the implementation of
the deposit beverage container program, including permitting and enforcement
activities; [and]
(6) Fund associated office expenses[.]; and
(7) Fund the Hawaii recycling program established pursuant to section 196- ."
SECTION 4. The department of accounting and general services shall submit a preliminary report, including findings and recommendations, on the development of the Hawaii recycling program to the legislature no later than December 31, 2009, and shall submit a final report on the development and implementation of the Hawaii recycling program to the legislature no later than October 31, 2010.
SECTION 5. There is appropriated out of the deposit beverage container deposit special fund the sum of $12,500 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2009-2010 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2010-2011 for the planning and development of the Hawaii recycling program.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of accounting and general services for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 6. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 7. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2009; provided that the amendments made to section 342G-104, Hawaii Revised Statutes made by section 3 of this Act, shall not be repealed when that section is repealed and reenacted on June 30, 2009, by Act 228 Session Laws of Hawaii 2005, as amended by Act 231, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006.
