Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Hawai'i Medical Education Council, Gubernatorial Nominee, RUSSELL WOO, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.
This bill is a procedural nomination by Governor Josh Green for Russell Woo to serve on the Hawai'i Medical Education Council, with a term expiring June 30, 2029. The Senate must formally consider and confirm this appointment before Woo can assume the position. The council oversees medical education standards and training programs in Hawaii, so this nomination directly affects the council's composition and its oversight of medical education. The bill does not create new policy but follows standard confirmation procedures for state council appointments.
