GM 759 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Hawai'i Workforce Development Council, Gubernatorial Nominee, CHRISTOPHER BURNETT, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.

This bill nominates Christopher Burnett to serve on the Hawai'i Workforce Development Council, a state agency that helps develop the workforce and supports job training initiatives. The nomination is submitted by Governor Josh Green and requires confirmation by the state Senate before Burnett can officially take the position. If confirmed, Burnett will serve on the council until June 30, 2030, contributing to workforce planning and development efforts in Hawaii. This is a standard personnel appointment process rather than a new policy change.
