Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Advisory Board of Directors of the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority, Gubernatorial Nominee, MERICIA ELMORE, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.

This is a procedural bill (GM 599) submitting Governor Josh Green's nomination of Mericia Elmore for confirmation to the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority's Advisory Board. The bill requests the Senate confirm Elmore's appointment, which would allow her to serve on the board until June 30, 2029. It does not change any laws or policies - it solely concerns filling a specific board position. The Senate must vote to confirm this nomination before Elmore can take the role.
