RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 733

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 733, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board

 

G.M. No. 733

RANDALL BALL,

for a term to expire 06-30-2024,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Randall Ball for service on the Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Randall Ball from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Meharry Medical College, and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Dr. Ball's background and dedication to serving the public qualify him to be appointed to the Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board as a public member not connected with the industry.  Your Committee notes that Dr. Ball is a retired colonel of the United States Army Dental Corps, specializing in pediatric dentistry.  Over the course of his thirty-year career, Dr. Ball held distinguished academic and administrative appointments both nationally and internationally.  Your Committee further notes that Dr. Ball has served as an active member in a number of professional organizations, including as president and program director of a dental society in Seoul and various positions within the Federal Services Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.  Dr. Ball has also provided consulting services to dental treatment facilities around the world, taught and mentored at various dental schools, and engaged in years of community services for dental needs.  Your Committee finds that Dr. Ball has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members and his unique background will enhance the effectiveness of Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Dr. Ball be appointed to the Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board based on his knowledge, background, and dedication to public service.

 

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