GM 745 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Hawai'i Medical Board, Gubernatorial Nominee, ELIZABETH IGNACIO, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.

This bill nominates Elizabeth Ignacio for a position on the Hawaii Medical Board, which regulates the state's medical profession. The nomination is submitted by Governor Josh Green and requires Senate confirmation to take effect. If confirmed, Ignacio would serve on the board until June 30, 2030. This is a standard personnel appointment process rather than a new policy initiative. The bill does not change existing laws or regulations but follows constitutional procedures for filling a board vacancy.
