Heading: HPA Board Composition

Text: The HPA is composed of three members, one of which serves as chairperson, and each of which is appointed for four-year terms. HRS § 353-61 (1993). The March 15, 2003 order setting Coulter's minimum term of imprisonment was signed by the Acting Chair Mary Juanita Tiwanak. The letterhead at the top of the March Order also listed Lani Rae Garcia as an HPA member and Tommy Johnson as administrator. The December Amended Order, on the other hand, was signed by Chairman Albert Tufono. The letterhead of that order indicates that the HPA at that time was composed of two other members, Dane K. Oda and Edward M. Slavish, as well as administrator Tommy Johnson. Therefore, none of the individuals who were HPA members at the time that the March Order was issued continued to be HPA members by December 2003, when the Amended Order was released.
