Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Board of Dentistry, Gubernatorial Nominee, GERI YOUNG, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.

This is a procedural submission, not a policy bill. Governor Green is formally submitting Geri Young's nomination for appointment to the Hawaii Board of Dentistry, where she would serve until June 30, 2029. The Senate must confirm this appointment for it to take effect. This affects the Board of Dentistry's composition and the Governor's authority to fill vacancies on the board.
