RE: S.R. No. 94
S. D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Government Operations and Agriculture and
Environment, to which was referred S.R. No. 94 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND
GENERAL SERVICES TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE RECYCLING PROGRAM
TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN ALL OFFICES AT THE HAWAII STATE
CAPITOL,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the
Department of Accounting and General Services to develop a
comprehensive recycling program, with specific focus on the
collection of HI-5 recyclable items, to be implemented in all
offices at the Hawaii State Capitol.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Accounting and General Services.
Your Committees find that although the State has established
sustainable waste management goals, it has not made these efforts
mandatory, which limits their effectiveness and participation
rates. Your Committees further find that it is essential for the
Legislature to lead by example in environmental stewardship
efforts; demonstrating the State's commitment to sustainable
practices. The comprehensive recycling program to be implemented
by this measure will serve as a model for sustainable waste
management practices and encourage those in the State to adopt

similar recycling measure, thereby facilitating the State's
achievement of its sustainability goals.
Your Committees have amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying that the Department of Accounting and General
Services is demanded, rather than reguested, to develop
a comprehensive recycling program at the Hawaii State
Capitol;
(2) TXmending the list of recipients of its certified copies
to include the President of the Senate;
(3) TXmending its title to reflect its amended purpose; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the
purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Government Operations and Agriculture and
Environment that are attached to this report, your Committees
concur with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 94, as amended
herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as
S.R. No. 94, S.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committees on Government
