GM 569 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the State Rehabilitation Council, Gubernatorial Nominee, CYNTHIA MEW, for a term to expire 06-30-2028.

This bill (GM 569) is a routine nomination submission, not a policy bill. It asks the Hawaii Senate to confirm Governor Green's appointment of Cynthia Mew to the State Rehabilitation Council for a term ending June 30, 2028. The bill directly affects the council's membership and the Governor's authority to appoint council members per state constitutional requirements. No policy changes or mechanisms are involved - this is solely a procedural step requiring Senate confirmation.
