This is a procedural appointment notice, not a legislative bill.

Kusch will serve as the temporary representative effective immediately on November 27, 2024, until the next election. The appointment follows Hawaii Revised Statutes section 17-4(a), which allows the Governor to fill such vacancies. This is a routine administrative action to maintain representation, not a policy change.
