GM 530 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Board of Land and Natural Resources, Gubernatorial Nominee, KAREN ONO, for a term to expire 06-30-2028.

This is a procedural nomination bill, not a policy change. Governor Green submitted Karen Ono's nomination for confirmation to the Board of Land and Natural Resources, a state agency managing Hawaii's public lands and natural resources. The nomination requires Senate confirmation under Hawaii's Constitution. If confirmed, Ono would serve on the Board until June 30, 2028. This bill does not create new laws or affect public policy - it is solely the standard process for appointing a state board member.
