Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Health Planning Council, Hawai'i County Subarea, Gubernatorial Nominee, ALLEN NOVAK, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.
This is a procedural nomination, not a policy bill. Governor Green has submitted Allen Novak for Senate confirmation to serve on the Health Planning Council's Hawai'i County Subarea board, with a term ending June 30, 2029. The nomination follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement (Article V, Section 6) for the governor to submit such appointments to the Senate for consideration and confirmation. The action directly affects Allen Novak (the nominee) and the Health Planning Council, which oversees regional health planning in Hawai'i County. No policy changes are involved - this is a routine appointment process.
