Sir:

     Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 799, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

State Board Of Chiropractic Examiners

G.M. No. 799

LAWRENCE REDMOND, 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 Lawrence Redmond to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated for reappointment to the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

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

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Dr. Redmond's knowledge, background, and prior experience on the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners qualify him to be nominated for reappointment to the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners as a chiropractor member.  Your Committee notes that Dr. Redmond has been a licensed chiropractor for over thirty years and is the Director and Owner of his private practice, Kaimuki Chiropractic Center.  Dr. Redmond is also the past President of the Hawaii State Chiropractic Association.  Your Committee further finds that Dr. Redmond has been a member of the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners since 2012 and his many years of experience gained as a licensed chiropractor in active practice continue to enhance the effectiveness of Board discussions.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Dr. Redmond be reappointed to the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners based on his background, experience, and desire to contribute to the community.

     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,
