GM 506 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission, Gubernatorial Nominee, LEINAALA LOPEZ, for a term to expire 06-30-2028.

This is a procedural bill (GM 506) submitting Governor Josh Green's nomination of Leinaala Lopez for appointment to the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission. The bill formally requests the Hawaii Senate to consider and confirm Lopez for a position on the commission, with her term set to expire June 30, 2028. It does not create new policy or affect specific legislation - it is solely the standard process for Senate confirmation of a gubernatorial appointment. The commission's role is to oversee the annual King Kamehameha Celebration, but this bill only addresses the nomination process.
