Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Department of Defense, Gubernatorial Nominee, PHILLIP MALLORY, for a term to expire 12-07-2026. (Position corrected by GM649)

This bill (GM 643) is a routine gubernatorial nomination submission, not a legislative bill with policy provisions. Governor Green formally submits Phillip Mallory for confirmation to serve as a Department of Defense appointee, with the position expiring December 7, 2026. The submission follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement (Article V, Section 6) for the Governor to seek Senate confirmation of certain appointments. This procedural step directly affects the Governor's appointment authority and the Senate's confirmation role, but does not create new policy or alter existing law.
