RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 773

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2016

Sir:

     Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 773, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

State Board Of Barbering And Cosmetology

G.M. No. 773

LYNETTE MCKAY, for a term to expire 06-30-2020,

begs leave to report as follows:

     Your Committee has reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by the nominee and finds Lynette McKay to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated for reappointment to the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the reappointment of Lynette McKay from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and one individual.

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. McKay's knowledge, background, and prior experience on the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology qualify her to be nominated for reappointment to the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology as a beauty operator member.  Your Committee notes that Ms. McKay has been licensed in Hawaii as a cosmetologist since 1967 and as a beauty instructor since 2001 and is currently an Assistant Professor of Cosmetology at Honolulu Community College.  Ms. McKay is also an active member of the National Cosmetology Association, where she has held several leadership positions, including serving as the Honolulu Affiliate President and State President.  Your Committee further finds that Ms. McKay has been a member of the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology since July 2013 and her extensive knowledge of the beauty industry and experience as a cosmetologist practitioner and beauty instructor continue to enhance the effectiveness of the Board.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Ms. McKay be reappointed to the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology based on her background, experience, and commitment to her profession.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health 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 Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health,
