Appointments to Fill Vacancies: Where Consent of I Liheslatura Required

Whenever an appointment by I Maga’håga/Maga’låhi requires the consent of I Liheslatura, I Maga’håga/Maga’låhi shall submit such appointment to I Liheslatura within ten

(10)days of making the appointment. If such Liheslatura has adjourned sine die, then the appointment shall be submitted to the first meeting of the next Liheslatura within ten

(10)days after the commencement thereof. Whenever I Liheslatura has adjourned sine die without having confirmed or rejected an appointment, such appointment shall thereupon automatically terminate. Any appointment not submitted to I Liheslatura in accordance with this Section shall automatically terminate as of the end of the last day available for submission. Any office to which appointment requires legislative consent which becomes vacant shall remain vacant until I Liheslatura consents to the appointment; provided, however, that the confirmation of an Acting appointee shall automatically include approval of retroactive pay to the date of his acting appointment. As to positions requiring legislative appointment, no appointment or acting appointment to fill a position which is vacant is effective until the appointment or acting appointment is transmitted to the Speaker of I Liheslatura.
