Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Commission on the Status of Women, Gubernatorial Nominee, JESSICA SHAFFER, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.
This bill formally nominates Jessica Shaffer to serve as a member of Hawaii's Commission on the Status of Women, with her term set to end on June 30, 2030. The nomination is submitted by Governor Josh Green under the authority of the Hawaii State Constitution and requires confirmation by the Senate. If confirmed, Shaffer will join the commission to advise on issues related to women's status and rights in the state. This is an administrative appointment process rather than a new policy initiative.
