Bill Summary · GM 785

Legislative bill overview

Bill GM 785 is a gubernatorial nomination submitted to the Hawaii legislature for confirmation of Stacy Perreira to serve on the 911 Board. The nominee would serve a term expiring on June 30, 2028. This is a routine confirmation process requiring legislative approval of an executive branch appointment.

Why is this important

The 911 Board oversees Hawaii's emergency services infrastructure and coordination, making board members responsible for critical public safety functions. Confirmation votes on executive nominees are a key legislative check on gubernatorial power and ensure accountability in the appointment process.

Potential points of contention

  • Nominee qualifications: Lawmakers may question Perreira's specific experience in emergency services, telecommunications, or public safety management
  • Board composition balance: Concerns about whether this appointment maintains appropriate geographic, professional, or demographic representation across Hawaii's islands
  • Vacancy urgency: Questions about whether there is an urgent operational need for this appointment or if it fills a long-standing vacancy
