Informing the Senate that on March 31, 2026, the Governor has withdrawn ROGER BABCOCK, JR., Gubernatorial Nominee to the Board of Certification of Operating Personnel in Wastewater Treatment Plants, from consideration by the Senate (GM527).

This bill formally notifies the Senate that Governor Josh Green has withdrawn the nomination of Roger Babcock, Jr. from the position of Board of Certification of Operating Personnel in Wastewater Treatment Plants. The action follows a request made by the Governor and is based on provisions in the Hawaii State Constitution regarding gubernatorial appointments. As a result, Babcock will no longer be considered for this specific appointment, which would have been valid until June 30, 2029. The document serves as an official administrative record of the withdrawal rather than establishing new policy.
