HI SB997

Requires persons constructing renewable energy generation, storage, or carbon sequestration projects of 1 megawatt or greater capacity to submit a signed attestation within 30 days of construction start to the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism

Contractors and subcontractors must use apprentices from state-approved programs, maintain workplace anti-harassment and diversity policies, demonstrate 7-year compliance history with workers' compensation and wage laws, and offer health care and retirement benefits

Attestation must include project details such as megawatt capacity, physical footprint in acres, location, estimated workforce requirements, and documentation of good faith efforts to use apprentices

Attestations are public records subject to disclosure under chapter 92F but serve reporting purposes only—the department cannot use them for investigation or enforcement

Effective date set to July 1, 3000 (placeholder date indicating the bill is not intended to take immediate effect)
