RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 566

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2020

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 566, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Elevator Mechanics Licensing Board

 

G.M. No. 566

EVAN FONG,

for a term to expire 06-30-2021,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Evan Fong for service on the Elevator Mechanics Licensing Board.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Evan Fong from the Elevator Mechanics Licensing Board.  Your Committee received testimony in opposition to the nomination for the appointment of Evan Fong from one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Fong's experience, background, and commitment to public service qualify him for appointment to the Elevator Mechanics Licensing Board as a licensed elevator mechanic member.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Fong has nearly fifteen years of experience as an elevator mechanic and has been a licensed elevator mechanic in Hawaii since 2010.  Your Committee further notes that Mr. Fong has served as an interim member of the Elevator Mechanics Licensing Board since July 2019 and has a thorough understanding of the roles and responsibilities of its members.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Mr. Fong be appointed to the Elevator Mechanics Licensing Board based on his knowledge, experience, and commitment to public service.

 

     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,
