Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2020

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 748, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

State Council on Mental Health

 

G.M. No. 748

HEIDI ILYAVI,

for a term to expire 06-30-2022,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Heidi Ilyavi for service on the State Council on Mental Health.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Heidi Ilyavi from the Department of Health and two individuals.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Ilyavi's background and dedication to serving the public qualify her to be appointed to the State Council on Mental Health as a member representing families of children with serious emotional disturbances.  Your Committee notes that Ms. Ilyavi currently works as a Parent Partner for Child and Family Services in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division program in Kona, Hawaii, where she serves as an advocate and provides insight into available resources for families.  Your Committee finds that Ms. Ilyavi has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members and that her experience in Child and Family Services and her knowledge of mental health issues will enhance the effectiveness of the State Council on Mental Health.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Ms. Ilyavi be appointed to the State Council on Mental Health based on her knowledge, background, and dedication to public service.

 

     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,
