Summary of GM 750 (Session 2026, Hawaii)

Title and Purpose

  • Bill: GM 750
  • Jurisdiction: Hawaii
  • Purpose: Confirm gubernatorial nomination of a member to the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation.
  • Nominee: TRACI FUJITA
  • Term of Service: Through June 30, 2030 (expiration date)

What the bill does

  • Formalizes the governor’s nomination of Traci Fujita to the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation.
  • Requests the Senate to consider and confirm the nominee in accordance with Article V, Section 6 of the Hawaii Constitution.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • Confirmation Action: The bill is the gubernatorial appointment transmission, seeking Senate confirmation.
  • Commission Role: The nominee would serve on the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation, an entity focused on evaluating and promoting uniform standards across state law.
  • Term Length: The appointment would terminate on June 30, 2030, aligning with a multi-year term schedule for commissions.

Who Is Affected

  • Primary: Traci Fujita (nominee) would be a commissioner if confirmed.
  • Governing Body: The Hawaii State Senate (as the confirmation body) and the Governor (as the appointing authority).
  • Institution: Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation, which influences uniform legal standards and model laws adopted across states.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Introduced/Submitted by Governor: March 9, 2026, by Governor Josh Green, M.D.
  • House Action: Referred to a committee (JDC – Joint Committee on Judiciary & Commerce; in Hawaii, it’s common for related legislative committees to review gubernatorial appointments).
  • Public Hearing: Scheduled for April 17, 2026, at 10:00 AM (Room 016; videoconference) to consider the nomination.
  • Historical Action: The action history shows:
    • 2026-03-10: Referred to JDC
    • 2026-04-13: Public hearing scheduled

Additional Context

  • The bill is a standard confirmation measure accompanying a gubernatorial appointment to a state commission. It does not, by itself, create or modify powers beyond confirming the nominee to serve on the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation.

Potential Impact

  • If confirmed, Traci Fujita would participate in evaluating and promoting uniform legislation, potentially influencing the alignment of Hawaii laws with model/uniform standards and coordinating with other states on legislative drafting and reform efforts.
  • The term ending in 2030 provides a defined period for stewardship and review of uniform legislation proposals.
