GM 575 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

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

This is a procedural nomination, not a substantive bill. Governor Green has submitted Peter Hamasaki for Senate confirmation to serve on the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation, with a term ending June 30, 2028 (Bill GM 575). The Commission's role is to advance uniform state laws, but this nomination itself does not change policy. The Senate must now consider and confirm Hamasaki's appointment.
