Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Health Planning Council, West Oahu Subarea, Gubernatorial Nominee, CHRISTINE CABINGABANG-TINGCANG, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.

This is a procedural nomination, not a substantive legislative bill. Governor Green has submitted Christine Cabingabang-Tingcang for confirmation to serve on the Health Planning Council's West Oahu Subarea, with a term ending June 30, 2029. The submission follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement for gubernatorial nominations to be considered by the Senate. This action directly affects the Health Planning Council's composition and requires Senate confirmation for the appointment to take effect.
