Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Hawaiʻi Workforce Development Council, Gubernatorial Nominee, JASON BENN, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.
This bill is a procedural submission by Governor Josh Green to the Hawaii Senate for confirmation of Jason Benn's appointment to the Hawai'i Workforce Development Council. It does not create new policy but requests the Senate's approval for Benn to serve a term ending June 30, 2030. The key mechanism is the formal gubernatorial nomination process required under Hawaii's Constitution for such council positions. The bill directly affects the Workforce Development Council and the Governor's authority to appoint council members.
