GM 587 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Hawai'i Medical Board, Gubernatorial Nominee, ROBERT WOTRING, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.

This bill is a routine submission for confirmation of Governor Josh Green's nomination of Robert Wotring to the Hawai'i Medical Board. It does not propose new policy but requests the Senate's approval for Wotring's appointment to serve a term ending June 30, 2029. The bill directly affects the Medical Board's composition and the governor's authority to appoint board members under Hawaii's constitution. No substantive policy changes are involved - this is a standard confirmation process.
