Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Board of Registration of the Island of Hawai'i, Gubernatorial Nominee, JONATHAN SIMONDS, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.
This is a procedural nomination bill, not a policy change. Governor Green submitted Jonathan Simonds for Senate confirmation to serve on the Board of Registration of the Island of Hawai'i for a term ending June 30, 2030. The bill requires the Senate to consider and confirm the governor's appointment to this specific board position. No substantive policy changes or new rules are involved; it solely facilitates the confirmation process for a gubernatorial nomination.
