AI Summary

I notice there's a discrepancy - you've asked me to summarize S.B. 689 (relating to Lake Wilson), but the header indicates "SB80" with a title about "Climate Change Task Force; Appropriation." I'll summarize the actual bill text provided, which is S.B. 689:

  • Establishes a pilot project within the department of land and natural resources to demonstrate marine phytoremediation using native Hawaiian plants to remove pollutants and improve water clarity in Lake Wilson (Wahiawa reservoir).

  • Directs the department to contract for phytoremediation services pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter 103D (public procurement code).

  • Requires the department to submit a report to the legislature no later than twenty days before the 2013 regular session convening, including viability, safety, effectiveness findings, and recommendations with associated costs.

  • Appropriates unspecified sums from general revenues for fiscal years 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 to fund the pilot project.

  • Effective upon approval, with appropriations taking effect July 1, 2011.
