This law states that a commissioner's term lasts for four years. They stay in office until a new commissioner is appointed and ready to take over, but the new commissioner's term also lasts four years from the previous term's original end date. The Governor can remove a commissioner after a hearing if there are charges against them. If a commissioner no longer meets the required qualifications, their term ends when a new one is appointed. If a commissioner leaves office for any reason, their replacement will serve the remaining time of the previous term, following the same appointment process as a full term.
The term of each commissioner shall be four years. A commissioner shall hold office until his successor shall be appointed and qualified but such successor’s term shall expire four years from the legal date of expiration of the term of his predecessor. Any commissioner may be removed from office by the Governor upon charges and after a hearing. The term of any commissioner who ceases to hold the qualifications required shall terminate when a successor may be duly appointed. Vacancies occurring in the office of a commissioner from any reason or cause shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner as for a full term appointment.
