RE:     GOV. MSG. NO. 508

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 508, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Hawai'i Board of Veterinary Medicine

 

G.M. No. 508

ROBERT JORDAN,

for a term to expire 06-30-2020,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee has reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Robert Jordan for service on the Hawaii Board of Veterinary Medicine.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Robert Jordan for the Hawaii Board of Veterinary Medicine and two individuals.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Dr. Jordan's knowledge, background, and commitment to public service qualify him to be nominated for appointment to the Hawaii Board of Veterinary Medicine as a licensee member.  Your Committee notes that Dr. Jordan has been a licensed veterinarian in Hawaii for nearly fifteen years, previously practiced veterinary medicine as an emergency and critical care veterinarian, and has been the co-owner of Kona Veterinary Service in Kailua-Kona, which has been certified to the highest standards by the American Animal Hospital Association, since 2004.  Your Committee further notes that Dr. Jordan has participated in numerous community service events including spay-neuter clinics and has demonstrated a consistent commitment to his practice and community.  Your Committee further finds that Dr. Jordan has served as an interim member of the Hawaii Board of Veterinary Medicine since June 2018 and has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members and therefore recommends that Dr. Jordan be appointed to the Hawaii Board of Veterinary Medicine based on his knowledge, experience, and dedication to serving the community.

 

     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,
