GM 698 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Real Estate Commission, Gubernatorial Nominee, TRINETTE KAUI, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.

Governor Josh Green has submitted a nomination for Trinette Kaui to serve on Hawaii's Real Estate Commission, with a term expiring June 30, 2030. This nomination requires the Hawaii State Senate to confirm the appointment before Kaui can assume the position. The process follows Hawaii's Constitution (Article V, Section 6), which mandates Senate confirmation for certain executive appointments. The nomination directly affects the Governor's ability to fill the commission role and the Senate's confirmation authority.
