GM 556 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the State Council on Mental Health, Gubernatorial Nominee, MARY PAT WATERHOUSE, for a term to expire 06-30-2028.

This is not a legislative bill but a gubernatorial nomination submission. Governor Green has formally submitted Mary Pat Waterhouse for confirmation to serve on the State Council on Mental Health, with a term expiring June 30, 2028. The nomination requires the Senate's "consideration and confirmation" per Hawaii's Constitution. This procedural step is standard for appointing council members, not a policy change affecting the public.
