Submitting for consideration and confirmation as Circuit Court Judge of the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit (Island of Hawaiʻi), Gubernatorial Appointee, KAUANOE A. D. JACKSON, for a term to expire in 10 years.

This is a procedural nomination, not a substantive bill. Governor Josh Green has submitted Kauanoe A.D. Jackson for Senate confirmation as a Circuit Court Judge for the Third Circuit (Island of Hawaiʻi) for a 10-year term, as required by Hawaii's Constitution. The Senate must provide "advice and consent" on this appointment. This process directly affects the judicial appointment system and the nominee's eligibility to serve.
