Summary of Bill GM 722 (Session: 2026) — Hawaii

Title

Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Statewide Health Coordinating Council, gubernatorial nominee, ROBERT SHRODER, for a term to expire 06-30-2030.

Purpose and intent

  • The bill proposes the appointment of Robert Shroder as a gubernatorial nominee to the Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) for a term ending June 30, 2030, subject to the State Senate’s advise-and-consent process.
  • The action advances the governor’s nomination and seeks legislative confirmation to fill a vacancy or term on the SHCC.

Key provisions and changes

  • Formal submission for confirmation: The Governor’s nomination of Robert Shroder to the SHCC is presented to the Hawaii State Senate for confirmation.
  • Term length: If confirmed, Shroder would serve a four-year term ending June 30, 2030.
  • Confirmation process: The bill follows the standard legislative confirmation pathway, including committee review, public hearing, and floor vote by the Senate.

Who would be affected

  • Robert Shroder: Would become a confirmed member of the Statewide Health Coordinating Council, assuming successful confirmation.
  • Statewide Health Coordinating Council (SHCC): The council would gain the appointed member, potentially affecting its deliberations, voting dynamics, and guidance on statewide health planning and policy.
  • Hawaii residents: Indirectly affected through SHCC decisions on health planning, resource allocation, and policy recommendations that influence health care access, financing, and public health initiatives.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Referred to the Hawaii Senate Health and Human Services (HHS) Committee on February 20, 2026.
  • Public hearing scheduled: April 6, 2026 (1:00 PM, Conference Room 225 & Videoconference).
  • Committee action: April 8, 2026, with the HHS committee recommending “advise and consent.”
  • Report to the full Legislature: April 29, 2026, with a Stand. Com. Rep. No. 3950 recommending advise and consent.
  • Senate confirmation vote: April 30, 2026, resulting in confirmation (Ayes 24, Noes 0, Excused 1).
  • Effective status: Upon confirmation, Shroder’s term would commence or continue as specified, ending June 30, 2030.

Observations

  • The bill is focused on personnel appointment and does not appear to alter the SHCC’s powers, structure, or statutory authority beyond authorizing the governor’s nominee’s term.
  • The outcome in committee and the Senate indicates strong bipartisan support for the nomination, based on the recorded votes. No objections or reservations were noted in the final confirmation.
