GM 700 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Disability and Communication Access Board, Gubernatorial Nominee, ED CHEVY, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.

Governor Josh Green has nominated Ed Chevy for appointment to the Disability and Communication Access Board, with a term expiring June 30, 2030. This submission requires the Hawaii Senate to consider and confirm the appointment before Chevy can assume the role. The board likely advises on accessibility policies for people with disabilities, though the bill itself does not detail specific policy changes. This is a routine procedural nomination, not a legislative measure altering laws or regulations.
