Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Tax Review Commission, Gubernatorial Nominee, JONATHAN WHITE, for a term to expire 05-08-2026. (Term corrected to 05-07-2027 by GM675).
This bill is a gubernatorial nomination for Jonathan White to serve on Hawaii's Tax Review Commission, with a term ending May 7, 2027 (corrected from the original May 8, 2026 date via another bill). The Senate must consider and confirm this appointment to fill the vacancy on the commission. The nomination follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement (Article V, Section 6) for gubernatorial nominations of commission members to be submitted to the Senate for confirmation. This procedural step does not create new policy but advances the appointment process for a specific government position.
