Informing the Senate that on April 7, 2026, the Governor has withdrawn NATASHYA NIHIPALI, Gubernatorial Nominee to the Hawaiʻi Teacher Standards Board, from consideration by the Senate (GM655).

This bill serves as a formal notification from the Governor to the Senate regarding the withdrawal of a specific gubernatorial appointment. It directly affects the Senate's consideration process for Natashya Nihipali, who was nominated to serve on the Hawai'i Teacher Standards Board. The key provision is the official removal of Nihipali from the list of candidates under review, citing Article V, Section 6 of the state constitution as the legal basis for this action. Consequently, the Senate will no longer proceed with confirming or rejecting this particular nominee for the board position.
