Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Hawaii Paroling Authority, Gubernatorial Nominee, CHERYL INOUYE, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.
This is a procedural submission, not a legislative bill. Governor Green has submitted Cheryl Inouye's nomination for confirmation to the Hawaii Paroling Authority, where she would serve until June 30, 2029. The submission follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement for Senate confirmation of gubernatorial appointments to certain boards. This action directly affects the Paroling Authority's composition and the Governor's executive authority over appointments. The Senate must now consider and vote on confirming this nomination.
