GM 696 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Advisory Board on Pesticides, Gubernatorial Nominee, JAMES FALCONER, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.

This bill is a routine gubernatorial nomination submission, not a substantive legislative measure. Governor Green formally submits James Falconer for confirmation to serve on Hawaii's Advisory Board on Pesticides, with a term expiring June 30, 2030. The nomination requires Senate confirmation under Hawaii Constitution Article V, Section 6. This affects the board's composition but does not change pesticide regulations or policy.
