RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 504

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2024

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 504, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Board of Acupuncture

 

G.M. No. 504

MARTA REBELLA,

for a term to expire 06-30-2027,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Marta Rebella for service on the Board of Acupuncture.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Marta Rebella from the Board of Acupuncture and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Rebella's experience, background, and commitment to public service qualify her for appointment to the Board of Acupuncture as a public member.  Your Committee notes that Ms. Rebella has decades of experience in human resources and county government.  Ms. Rebella also served her community as a board member and President of the Board of Directors of the YWCA of Orange County and has served a previous term on the Board of Acupuncture.  Your Committee finds that Ms. Rebella thoroughly understands the role and responsibilities of board members, and her background in human resources and government, along with her willingness to serve the public, will be assets to the Board of Acupuncture.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Marta Rebella be appointed to the Board of Acupuncture based on her experience, knowledge, and commitment 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,
