GM 574 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation, Gubernatorial Nominee, MICHAEL TANOUE, for a term to expire 06-30-2028.

This is a procedural nomination, not a legislative bill. Governor Green has submitted Michael Tanoue for Senate confirmation to serve on the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation, with a term expiring June 30, 2028. The submission follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement for gubernatorial nominations requiring Senate confirmation. It does not propose new policy or affect any specific group; it only requests Senate approval for an existing appointment.
