HR 184 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO CONVENE A DEMOLITION WASTE REDUCTION WORKING GROUP.

This House Resolution (HR 184) requests Hawaii’s Department of Health to establish a Demolition Waste Reduction Working Group. It directly affects state agencies, the construction and demolition industries, and community groups focused on environmental justice and circular economy practices. The working group must develop strategies to reduce construction/demolition waste, scale material reuse, align with Hawaii’s carbon neutrality goals (by 2045), and create policy recommendations. The resolution requires the group to include health officials, industry representatives, and community experts, and to submit annual reports to the legislature with findings and proposed actions.

MODERATE

The bill was reformatted from a standard legislative document to a metadata-rich file format, while the substantive policy content remained largely the same. The most significant change is the addition of specific state agency representatives (Department of Education, Department of Transportation, University of Hawaii System) to the working group membership, alongside the existing private sector and industry representatives. This expands the working group's composition to ensure broader public sector representation and stakeholder engagement in the demolition waste reduction efforts.

Scope change

The scope of the working group's membership was expanded to include additional state agencies and educational institutions, broadening the range of stakeholders involved in the initiative.

REQUIREMENT

Added specific state agency representatives (Department of Education, Department of Transportation, University of Hawaii System) to the working group membership requirements.

Added specific recipients for certified copies of the Resolution (Chairperson of the Board of Education, Director of Transportation, President of the University of Hawaii).

TECHNICAL

Changed document format from standard legislative text to a structured metadata file format with timestamps and technical identifiers.
