AI Summary
This bill modifies the process for appointing the Executive Director of the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board, which is the body responsible for setting standards for teachers in Hawaii. Currently, the board submits a nominee to the Board of Education for approval. This bill requires the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board to submit a list of three nominees to the Board of Education, and the Board of Education will then appoint the Executive Director from that list, with the approval of the State Senate. This means the Senate will have a role in confirming the appointment, a process known as "advice and consent," and if the Senate does not confirm a nominee, the Board of Education will need to seek another nominee from the Teacher Standards Board to present to the Senate.
