Any public member who is absent for three consecutive regular meetings of the commission may be removed by the appointing authority unless the member is excused from those meetings by the chairperson of the commission. In the event of removal, or upon the resignation or death of the member, the respective appointing authority shall designate another person to fill the balance of the unexpired term.

To achieve the staggering of terms, the Governor shall designate the terms of the present members of the commission who have been appointed by the Governor.
