GM 508 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

This is not a legislative bill but a routine gubernatorial nomination for confirmation. Governor Green submitted Beverly Lee for appointment to the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission, with a term expiring June 30, 2028. The submission follows Hawaii's constitutional process (Article V, Section 6) requiring Senate confirmation for such appointments. It does not create new policy or affect any laws - it is a standard procedural step for filling a commission position. The commission focuses on organizing cultural events related to King Kamehameha, but this nomination itself involves no substantive policy change.
