GM 505 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Enhanced 911 Board, Gubernatorial Nominee, MATTHEW KURIHARA, for a term to expire 06-30-2028. (Board/Commission Name amended to 911 Board by GM712).

This bill (GM 505) is a procedural nomination submission by Governor Josh Green for Matthew Kurihara to serve on the Enhanced 911 Board. The governor formally requests the Hawaii Senate confirm Kurihara's appointment for a term expiring June 30, 2028. The bill does not change policy or affect public services; it only initiates the Senate's confirmation process for a board member. The 911 Board oversees emergency communication systems, but this bill itself only concerns the appointment procedure. (Procedural bill summary: 2 sentences)
