Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Procurement Policy Board, Gubernatorial Nominee, PAULA YOUNGLING, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.
This bill nominates Paula Youngling for a position on the Procurement Policy Board in Hawaii, a role that directly affects state procurement processes and policy oversight. The nomination is submitted by Governor Josh Green and requires confirmation by the Senate before Youngling can assume the role. If confirmed, she will serve on the board until her term expires on June 30, 2030, as specified in the bill. This is a procedural nomination bill that does not create new laws but rather fills a specific government position.
