The governor, the speaker of the senate, and the speaker of the house of representatives must each appoint three members, with each member coming from a different grand division in this state. In making the initial appointments, this bill requires staggered terms. Following the expiration of initial terms, all members serve three-year terms that begin on January 1 and end on December 31 of each applicable year. Additionally, members of the board are eligible for reappointment. This bill requires vacancies occurring on the board before the expiration of a term by reason of death, resignation, removal, or another reason to be filled in the same manner as the regular appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term. An appointed member of the board serves in such capacity until the expiration of the term to which the member was appointed and until the member's successor is duly appointed and qualified. The governor and the speakers of the senate and house of representatives must remove a member of the board whom the respective appointing authority appointed for cause. This bill requires the members to elect one member of the board to serve as the chair for a term of one year beginning January 1 of the appropriate year. The chair must direct the operation of the board. The board may designate one of its members to act as chair during the absence or incapacity of the chair, and when so acting, the member so designated has and performs all the powers and duties of the chair of the board.
