RE: H.B. No. 2631
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.B. No. 2631 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ENERGY INDUSTRY REPORTING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to promote energy planning, policy development, and energy emergency preparedness and response for the state by:
(1) Establishing the Energy Industry Monitoring and Analysis Program within the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) to directly collect relevant, accurate, and sufficient energy data and information; and
(2) Establishing the Energy Industry Monitoring and Analysis Special Fund.
This bill also suspends portions of the Petroleum Industry Information Reporting Act that requires the reporting of certain information to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), that by this bill will be reported to DBEDT.
The Department of Budget and Finance opposed this bill. PUC and the Western States Petroleum Association provided comments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2631 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection,
