Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Advisory Board of Directors of the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority, Gubernatorial Nominee, LINDA WONG, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.
This bill is a procedural nomination submission, not a policy change. Governor Green has submitted Linda Wong for confirmation to serve on the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority's Advisory Board of Directors, with her term set to expire on June 30, 2029. The Senate must consider and confirm this appointment per Hawaii's constitutional process. The bill directly affects the Governor's authority to appoint board members and the Senate's confirmation role, but does not alter tourism policies or funding.
