1. The Nevada Commission on Services for Persons with Disabilities, consisting of 11 voting members and 2 or more nonvoting members, is hereby created within the Division.
2. The Director shall appoint as voting members of the Commission 11 persons who have experience with or an interest in and knowledge of the problems of and services for persons with disabilities. The majority of the voting members of the Commission must be persons with disabilities or the parents or family members of persons with disabilities.

4. The Director may appoint as nonvoting members of the Commission such other representatives of State Government as the Director deems appropriate.
5. After the initial term of an appointed member, the term of an appointed member is 3 years. An appointed member may be reappointed for an additional term of 3 years. An appointed member may not serve more than two terms or 6 years, whichever is greater. A vacancy on the Commission must be filled in the same manner as the original appointment. An appointed member who serves for more than 1 year of a term to which another person was appointed may be appointed to serve only one additional full term as an appointed member. However, at the completion of the additional full term, the member may be appointed to the remaining term of another member who has resigned or otherwise left the Commission before completing his or her term if the total combined service of the member being appointed, after serving the remaining term of the member who resigned or otherwise left the Commission, will not exceed 6 years.
6. The Director may remove an appointed member of the Commission for malfeasance in office or neglect of duty. Absence from two consecutive meetings of the Commission constitutes good and sufficient cause for removal of an appointed member by the Director.
