Effective March 1, 2005, the commission will then elect for a one-year term a chair

and vice chair from the two members, one from each opposing political party, who have the most seniority in commission service. At the end of the one-year term, the chair and vice chair will switch their positions. Thereafter, the commission leadership will continue to rotate accordingly.



The proposal contains provisions for filling vacancies due to removal, death, or resignation.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
