RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 525

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2016

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Development, Environment, and Technology, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 525, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Small Business Regulatory Review Board

 

G.M. No. 525

HARRIS NAKAMOTO,

for a term to expire 06-30-2019,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

          Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Harris Nakamoto from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Nakamoto's experience as a business leader and small business owner, commitment to public service, and proven leadership qualify him for appointment to the Small Business Regulatory Review Board.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Nakamoto has worked in the health-related field in progressively more responsible positions for over twenty years, including experience as a small business owner to serve physician practices for contracting and business administration purposes.  Your Committee further finds that Mr. Nakamoto has previously been appointed to the Small Business Regulatory Review Board and based on his knowledge, experience, and commitment to public service he would be a great reappointee for the Board.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development, Environment, and Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development, Environment, and Technology,
