Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs, Gubernatorial Nominee, SCOTT SPALLINA, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.

This is a procedural nomination submission, not a policy bill. Governor Green is formally submitting Scott Spallina for Senate confirmation to serve on the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs, with a term ending June 30, 2030. The Senate must consider and vote on confirming this appointment. This follows Hawaii's constitutional requirement for gubernatorial nominations requiring legislative confirmation.
