Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 535, submitting for study and consideration the nominations of:

G.M. No. 535

CARL D. JOHNSEN,

for a term to expire 6-30-2015,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this nominee from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and Hawaii Automobile Dealers' Association.  Your Committee received a written statement from the nominee.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that this nominee has extensive business and management experience that qualifies him to serve as a representative of the public on the Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board.  Your Committee notes that the nominee has managed and supervised the development of commercial real estate for over thirty years as a high-level manager for large statewide companies and as a business owner.  Your Committee also finds that this experience in a regulated industry has afforded the nominee first-hand insight into the State's regulatory system.  Your Committee further finds that the nominee's long-standing ties to business statewide will allow him to represent the interests of many of Hawaii's residents.  Finally, your Committee finds that this nominee has been nominated for appointment to the Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board based on his knowledge, experience, and commitment to public service.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that are attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominees, has found the nominees to be qualified for the positions to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nominations.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection,
