Bill Summary
Removes the Adjutant General as a nonvoting ex-officio member of the Hawaii Emergency Medical Services Advisory Committee. Adds the Administrator of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency as a nonvoting ex-officio member of the EMSAC.
AI Summary
This bill amends the composition of the Hawaii Emergency Medical Services Advisory Committee (EMSAC), a group that advises on emergency medical services in the state. Specifically, it removes the Adjutant General, who is the commanding officer of the state's military forces, as a nonvoting ex-officio member, meaning they were a member by virtue of their office but without the ability to vote. In place of the Adjutant General, the bill adds the Administrator of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA), the state agency responsible for coordinating disaster response and emergency management, as a nonvoting ex-officio member. This change aims to ensure that the agency responsible for overall emergency management is directly represented on the EMSAC.
