Governor Green has submitted Priti Tayal for confirmation to serve on the Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Kaua'i Service Area Board, with a term expiring June 30, 2030. The submission follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement for Senate confirmation of executive appointments. This action directly affects the Kaua'i Service Area Board's composition and requires Senate approval for the nomination to take effect. No new policy or funding is created by this submission.
