SB1611 creates a senior advisor for mental health and the justice system and a coordinator on homelessness, both requiring senate advice and consent.

SB1611 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to establish a senior advisor for mental health and the justice system, appointed by the governor with senate advice and consent. It also creates a coordinator on homelessness, similarly appointed. The bill mandates that any deputy director appointed after the act's effective date requires senate approval. The governor must nominate existing appointees for senate consent by the 41st day of the 2026 regular session. The act's provisions are severable, meaning invalid parts do not affect the rest.
