Hawaii HB23 amends the process for filling vacancies in the position of insurance commissioner.

Hawaii HB23 revises the procedure for filling vacancies in the position of insurance commissioner. It specifies that if a vacancy occurs before the tenth day prior to the close of filing for the next primary election, the governor must appoint someone from a list of three prospective appointees submitted by the same political party as the prior incumbent. If the vacancy occurs later, the governor can appoint someone who is not a member of any political party.
