Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Environmental Advisory Council, Gubernatorial Nominee, JAY STONE, for a term to expire 06-30-2028.

This bill (GM 509) is a procedural submission by Governor Josh Green to the Hawaii Senate for confirmation of Jay Stone as a member of the Environmental Advisory Council. It does not create new policy but requests the Senate's approval to fill a vacancy on the council, with Stone's term set to expire on June 30, 2028. The submission follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement (Article V, Section 6) for gubernatorial nominations to be confirmed by the Senate. The bill directly affects the Senate, which must act on the nomination, and the Environmental Advisory Council, which gains a new member upon confirmation.
